Mr. and Mrs. Ben Smith spent a few days in North You've got a right to equal pay for doing substantially the same work as a man. Getting paid the same as a man when you're doing substantially the same work is the law in Ontario. The trouble is, many female employees haven't been paid according to the law, for one reason or another. Examples. It's not good enough for employers to set wage rates om the basis of job title. or to use minor differences in work to justify differences in pay. For example men employed as clerks may have to do some purchasing of plant equipment or sup- plies perhaps. while a woman clerk may do the purchasing of smaller items--stationery. office needs. etc. But minor differences such as locking up at night. handling petty cash or lifting heavier loads do not make a "substantial difference" in the job and do not necessarily entitle the man to a higher rate of pay. The law states that when a woman is doing substantially the same work as a man. she must be paid the same. What "substantially the same" means. To clarify it for you, 'substantially the same' means that the skill, effort, responsibility and work- Ing conditions required for the work are similar and any difference in these are of a minor nature. In considering skill, attention is paid to factors such as experience, training and education required to do the work. In considering effort, attention is paid to the degree of physical or mental exertion required to do the work. And in considering responsibility, attention is paid to the degree of accountability to others in doing the work. Enforcement of the law. To enforce the equal pay law, the government of Ontario has added extra staff to the Employment Standards Branch. Their job is to make spotchecks into businesses across the province, to audit pay practices and to investigate complaints made by you to the Ministry of Labour. Equal pay for equal work. It's your right. And it's a the law. If you want more information or feel you have a valid complaint, call or write your local Employment Standards Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Labour. To call your local Employment Standards Branch, check your telephone directory or ask Bell Directory Assistance for the toll free number. Paying a woman less than a man for doing substantially the same work isn't just unfair, it's illegal. Ontario Employment Robert G Elgie.
