Pro Gestion: How to Calculate Employee Count for Pay Equity

Calculation Method: Identifying Inclusions and Exclusions

To determine the number of employees that are to be considered in the pay equity exercise, an employer must average the number of employees from the payroll register during the entire year of the companies reference period. The full-time employees, part-time, casual, seasonal, temporary or long-term absentees for various reasons must be included in the exercise.

Owners, upper management, students working during their holidays, interns through a recognized professional internship program, some self-employed workers and staff working outside of Quebec should be excluded from the exercise.
