Key Concepts

Comparable Worth

Comparable worth is the principle that jobs which require similar levels of skill, effort, responsibility, and working conditions should offer similar compensation, even if the jobs are different in content or traditionally associated with different demographic groups. It focuses on evaluating the relative worth of diverse roles beyond traditional job titles or market forces.

Pay Equity

Pay equity is the concept that all individuals should receive equal pay for work of equal or comparable value. This principle underpins efforts to eliminate wage disparities that arise from historical biases and occupational segregation, ensuring that compensation is based on the actual demands and contributions of the job.
