New Pay Equity Plan To Be Negotiated Between TDSB and PSSP
- An Overview of Pay Equity -
The Pay Equity Commission requires that pay equity between male and female employees be established and maintained.
All of our bargaining units prior to amalgamation of the Toronto District School Board went through the pay equity process. However, given the following facts a new pay equity plan must be developed for our PSSP bargaining unit:
Our new PSSP bargaining unit has many more job classes than any of the previous bargaining units.
Many years have passed since there has been a review of the salary comparisons between our PSSP members and male comparison groups that were originally used to establish pay equity. Pay equity must be established and maintained.
We are currently engaged in developing a new pay equity plan with the employer - for the lates updates click here.
Your bargaining unit strongly believes that when our female dominated job classes are compared with similar male dominated job classes at the TDSB, with regard to skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions our members pay rate will need to increase to achieve pay equity.
Should an increase in salary be required to establish pay equity, that salary increase must be paid retroactive to the effective date of the plan (the date the TDSB was amalgamated).
