Where Is Pay Transparency Legally Required?

Pay transparency has become the hottest thing in cutting edge HR law. Seven of Canada’s 14 jurisdictions have recently adopted pay transparency laws. However, the pay transparency legislation that passed in Newfoundland hasn’t yet actually taken effect. Where they are in effect, pay transparency laws generally require employers to:

  • Refrain from seeking information about a job applicant’s pay history.
  • List salary information for a position in job ads.
  • Refrain from retaliating against applicants for asking about their pay or discussing how much they make with coworkers.

While pay transparency laws apply to federally regulated employers, they’re limited to transparency pay reporting. Here’s a visual summary of the current state of pay transparency laws across the country.
