2. Introduction
All of us know these symbols, it's
represent the female gender, and we
can explain it like the girls always set
in front of the mirrors.
About this symbol it's represent the
male gender, and the males always
leave home to go to the work .

3. • but this explanation doesn’t be correct any more,
because in 1914 while the first world war was
raging ,the British and the German women left
there homes and went to the military plants to
produce the war weapons, that because the
active men went to the fighting fields.
• after the end of this war ,the women starts to be
an active member in the labor society.
• day after day ,the pay inequity starts to be
marked.

4. What is the definition of the pay
equity??
• Pay Equity :Is equal pay for equal work.

5. What’s the difference between pay
equity and wage gap?
• Wage Gap is the difference between the
average wages earned by men and the
average wages earned by women.
• Pay Equity :Is equal pay for equal work.

6. pay equity process
• A pay equity process evaluates jobs by comparing
work mostly or traditionally done by women to
work mostly or traditionally done by men.
• Jobs are traditionally evaluated using four
factors:
• 1) Qualification
2) Responsibility
3) Effort Required
4) Working Conditions
• If the female and male jobs are of comparable
value, then they should be paid the same rate.

7. Questions & Answers on Pay Equity
• Q:Will achieving pay equity require a national
wage-setting system?
• No, pay equity does not mandate across-the-
board salaries for any occupation, nor does it
tamper with supply and demand. It merely
means that wages must be based on job
requirements like skill, effort, responsibility
and working conditions without consideration
of race, sex, or ethnicity.

8. • Q:Why is there a wage gap?
• The wage gap exists, in part, because many
women and people of color are still segregated
into a few low-paying occupations. More than half
of all women workers hold sales, clerical and
service jobs. Studies show that the more an
occupation is dominated by women or people of
color, the less it pays. Part of the wage gap results
from differences in education, experience or time
in the workforce. But a significant portion cannot
be explained by any of those factors; it is
attributable to discrimination. In other words,
certain jobs pay less because they are held by
women and people of color.

9. • Q:Is it possible to compare different jobs?
• Yes, employers have used job evaluations for
nearly a century to set pay and rank for
different occupations within a company or
organization. Today, two out of three workers
are employed by firms that use some form of
job evaluation. The federal government, the
nation's largest employer, has a 70-year old
job evaluation system that covers nearly two
million employees.

10. • Q:How large is the wage gap?
• 2010 Median Annual Earnings
of Year-Round, Full-Time Workers
All Men All Women
$47,715 100% $36,931 77%
In 2010, the earnings for African American women
were $32,290, 67.7 percent of all men's earnings (from
67.5 percent in 2009), and Latinas' earnings were
$27,992, 58.7 percent of all men's earnings (up from
57.7 percent in 2009). Asian American women's
earnings at $41,309 dropped from 90 percent of all
men's earnings in 2009 to 86.6 percent in 2010.
