Description of the methodologies used to assess internal pay equity:

The college has conducted one or more internal pay equity assessments in the past three years to identify disparities not attributable to skills, responsibilities, or levels of experience.

These tools help maintain pay equity, reflecting the CEC's mission to support the strategic direction of colleges by ensuring productive labor and employment relations and sustainable compensation and benefits. The CEC's core values of leadership, trust, integrity, collaboration, respect, and professionalism guide these processes, aiming to create a fair and equitable labor environment across all member colleges.

It is designed to sustain a family at different stages of life, ensuring that younger adults can afford to start families and older individuals have additional financial support as they grow older. Across Ontario, various communities calculate their local living wage rates using the National Living Wage Framework, which was established by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
