Most women workers’ expect to receive pay equal to that of a man when doing work of equal or comparable value, whether the work is similar or not, but many managers and owner managers of small businesses are less than enthusiastic about making sure they do so. By failing to explore gender pay equity in their business they may not get the best person for the job, when she is a woman.

Attitudes to Gender Pay Equity in Small Firms_Final Report_v2_Feb 2012

Equal Pay Day 2011 will be held on 1 September, a date chosen for its significance as marking the additional time after the close of the financial year (63 days) that women have to work to match men’s earnings in that financial year. This calculation is based on ABS average full-time weekly earnings data that found that Australian women earn 17.2% less than men earn in a year.

The Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA) encourages you to get involved on the day and show your support for equal pay through promoting the adoption or review of pay equity policies, hosting an event such as a panel discussion or information session and talking about pay equity to staff members and managers, posting information on your website or intranet (including a link to EOWA’s website resources), issuing a media release or writing a letter to the editor or an article for your trade or professional magazine.

To help organisations address pay inequity, EOWA has developed a series of useful website resources including a pay equity audit tool and information relating to closing the gender pay gap. We have also developed an online interactive course “Mind the Gap”, designed to build understanding of pay equity issues and remedies and provide practical tools and resources, legislation, case studies, useful guides and checklists on remuneration and techniques for valuing work and setting pay rates.

EOWA is also working with Standards Australia and stakeholders to develop a voluntary standard on gender-inclusive job evaluation and grading. Currently open for public comment, we encourage you to make a submission on the draft Standard DR AS 5376 by the 19 September 2011 closing date. (Please see further details below.)
