INTENT

The Just program calls for organizations to commit to and demonstrate that they have a working gender equity pay scale program. Just encourages organizations to work to eliminate gender-based wage discrimination in their organizations. Pay scales should meet or exceed applicable legislated wage requirements and industry standards and compensate, on the same basis, all individuals performing the same or similar work or work of equal value.
