When a business or an employer takes a greater interest in staff or conducts an in-depth study of jobs, their value and the efforts required for each type of task or responsibility, employees appreciate it. Indeed, employees often feel undervalued when they are underpaid. In my opinion, greater recognition of employees is definitely one of the benefits that will come about as a result of implementing the Pay Equity Act.
Not only that, but the act will probably make certain types of jobs more attractive and increase the employee retention rate, another important benefit of implementation. If one category of jobs is filled mainly by women and the pay for this category is raised slightly, it should be easier for employers to attract, and in particular retain, people to fill these jobs and perform the tasks.
