Please join us for the Second Annual CDL D&I and Women’s Caucus Joint Program. This year it will be an in-depth discussion on Pay Equity in the legal profession.
Topics will include the following:
- Women lawyers’ inequitable treatment and compensation at law firms and legal departments in Canada
- What remedies are available?
- Pay equity legislation? Complaints to provincial Human Rights Tribunals?
- A discussion of the shortcomings of both remedies, including a brief overview of pay equity principles, the federal and provincial Pay Equity Acts, and the human rights complaint process.
- A brief review of recent decisions where women have successfully challenged their inequitable pay.
If litigation and H.R. complaints don’t work, what alternative strategies are available?
