ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ is committed to fostering an equitable, accessible, diverse and inclusive campus community where all people feel a sense of belonging.
As part of this commitment, the College will be reporting gender-based pay information on an annual basis. This also fulfills the requirement of the provincial government’s new Pay Transparency Act, which aims to help close the gender pay gap in B.C. and address systemic discrimination in the workplace.
Below is the College’s first pay transparency report which will serve as a baseline comparison for future reports. When reviewing our 2024 report, the following points are helpful to keep in mind:
- A College-wide effort to encourage voluntary disclosure of gender identity information from employees began in June 2024. Our gender identity response rate is expected to increase over time as this effort continues.
- Relatively few employees self-disclosed as non-binary. As such, this gender category has been suppressed in certain graphics.
- Of the employees self-disclosing as non-binary, approximately half held roles designed to be entry level and short term in nature (i.e., Student Assistants). This has resulted in overall lower hourly earnings for this gender category during the reporting period.
- Approximately one-third of College employees occupy positions that attract overtime pay. This is reflected in the overtime graphic.
