Hello APSA Members,
What is the Pay Transparency Act in British Columbia?
The B.C. government passed the 2023 Pay Transparency Act on May 11, 2023. This act requires that employers must take steps to address and eliminate pay discrimination in the workplace through more transparent discussion and reporting of salaries and pay ranges for both their current staff and for job postings.
The government had previously conducted consultations beginning on March 8, 2022, which included Indigenous women, women of colour, and transgender individuals to help address pay inequities.
