Content & Scope
Employment equity refers to providing equal employment opportunity to all individuals and to promoting the full participation and integration of under-represented groups: women, visible minorities, aboriginal people, and people with disabilities. The University participates in Government of Canada employment equity requirements under the Federal Contractors Program. Pay equity refers to equal pay for work of equal value and requires that work mostly or traditionally done by women be compared to work mostly or traditionally done by men.
This records class excludes employment equity information relating to individual employees.
The records include workforce survey questionnaires, workforce analyses, summary reports of appointment processes, reviews of employment systems, employment and pay equity plans, job comparisons, and information provided to employees.
