BC’s Pay Transparency Legislation
The Acts, which passed on May 11, 2023, places new requirements on employers to address systemic discrimination in the workplace. Effective immediately:
- All employers in BC must include the expected pay or the expected pay range for a specific job opportunity that they advertise publicly.
- Employers in BC can no longer ask ask job applicants about what they have been paid at positions with other employers.
- Employers in BC cannot dismiss, suspend, demote, discipline or harass an employee who:
- Asks their employer about their pay
- Reveals their pay to another employee or someone applying to work with their employer
- Ask the employer about its pay transparency report
- Gives information to the Director of Pay Transparency about their employer
- Provincially regulated employers above a certain size are required to complete and post pay transparency reports, showing the gaps in pay for certain groups, on all their BC employees by November 1st of each year. This requirement will apply in stages over the next four years, depending on the number of employees in B.C.:
- By November 1, 2023: the BC government and the six largest Crown corporations
- By November 1, 2024: all employers with 1,000 employees
- By November 1, 2025: all employers with 300 employees
