Pay equity

Pay equity is a fundamental part of building a fair, inclusive and high performing workplace. It ensures that employees are paid fairly for equal or comparable work, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, disability or other characteristics, and helps organisations identify and remove unjustified pay gaps.

As expectations around transparency and accountability continue to grow, employers are increasingly recognising that pay equity is not only a legal and ethical priority but also a strategic advantage.

This page brings together the essential concepts, legal requirements and best practices to help organisations understand pay equity, address disparities and create a compensation culture that supports trust, retention and long-term success.
