Equal pay matters: Launch of the Pay Equality Toolkit for small and medium enterprises

Developed with support from Industrial Relations Victoria, the Pay Equality Toolkit equips SMEs with a suite of practical and easy-to-use tools to help them achieve pay equality in their organisation. The toolkit responds to the unique issues facing SMEs and includes: 

• a Pay Equality Compass to help organisations assess their strengths and opportunities to achieve pay equality
• a simple guide and calculator for conducting gender pay audits
• customisable templates for developing an equal pay policy, assessing capability and creating an action plan
• a sample complaints procedure for equal pay matters
• a guide for conducting gender-neutral job evaluations
• a tool for ensuring equitable access to professional development. 

No matter where you are on your equal pay journey, these tools will help you ensure your workforce is paid fairly at all stages of the employment life cycle, helping you meet your legal obligations, improve staff satisfaction and become an employer of choice.
