Pay equity means women are paid the same as men for work of equal value, even if those jobs are different.
Pay equity differs from equal pay and pay parity:

• Pay equity is the same pay for different work which has the same or similar level of skill, responsibility, effort, and working conditions.
• Equal pay is the same pay for the same work, regardless of gender (male and female nurses, male and female police officers)
• Pay Parity is the aligning of pay and conditions of the same or similar workforces across different employers, organisations, and workplaces.
