On May 11, 2023, the Government of British Columbia passed the Pay Transparency Act in an effort to help close the gender pay gap in B.C. Pursuant to this legislation, the Chilliwack School District, as an employer with 1,000 or more employees, is required to start posting annual pay transparency reports by November 1st of each year.
The information contained in the report is based on pay data from school year 2023-2024 (July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024). The report compares the average hourly pay of a man to the average hourly pay of a woman and a non-binary person. It is aggregate data and does not compare pay data at the individual job level.
This first report serves as a benchmark for improvement and a baseline to track progress and measure the success of future initiatives aimed at improving pay equity at all levels of the organization. We are committed to undergoing further analysis to better understand the results and identify areas to be addressed.
