Your Obligations as a Canadian Employer
Across Canada, pay equity and transparency obligations vary.
Here’s what Canadian employers need to know.
Ontario: Pay Transparency Act
Ontario’s Pay Transparency Act requires employers to provide greater visibility into compensation practices.
Effective January 1, 2026, Ontario employers must disclose salary ranges, AI usage, and vacancy status in job postings.
You must also inform candidates whether a hiring decision has been made within 45 days of the interview.
British Columbia: Pay Transparency Act
Employers in BC are now required to publish annual pay transparency reports.
The first reporting deadline for employers with 1,000+ employees was Nov 1, 2024, with phased deadlines applying to mid-sized employers (300+ employees) by Nov 1, 2025, and smaller employers (50+ employees) by Nov 1, 2026.
Federally Regulated Employers: Pay Equity Act
For federally regulated employers with 10+ employees, the Pay Equity Act establishes a proactive pay equity reporting system.
Employers must develop and post pay equity plans, maintain them, and file annual statements by June 30. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties of up to $50,000.
