Thank you to all of our partners and clients who have been a part of our journey in 2023.
There has been a lot of talk surrounding equity and inclusion. The work must be ongoing and is a continuous process of self and organizational improvement that involves systemic changes.
For those in Canada there are two new laws and rules coming into effect in Canada in 2024 specific to equity.
1. Federally regulated employers should have an accessibility plan ready, created in consultation with people with disabilities. Employers with 10 to 99 employees must publish their plan by June 1, 2024, complying with the Accessible Canada Act and Accessible Canada Regulations.
2. Federally regulated employers with 10 or more employees must publish their pay equity plan by Sept. 3, 2024, based on the Pay Equity Act and Pay Equity Regulations. Employers with 100 or more employees and unionized employers must create a pay equity committee to help management develop the plan comparing “predominately male” to “predominately female” job classes. Employers who have identified pay equity gaps must raise the compensation for jobs that should get equal pay for work of equal value.
Happy New Year, from all of us at Divonify ✨
May 2024 be a journey of growth, understanding, and positive change. Happy New Year! 🌟 #NewYear #equitymatters
