Notice to all members of the Canadian Armed Forces regarding the request to the Office of the Pay Equity Commissioner to extend the deadline to post a final pay equity plan

Date: October 25, 2024

On August 29, 2024, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), on behalf of Treasury Board as the employer for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), filed a request to the federal Pay Equity Commissioner to extend the deadline to post a final pay equity plan for members of the CAF. On October 22, 2024, the Pay Equity Commissioner granted the requested extension of 2 years. This means that the final pay equity plan will be posted by the extended deadline of August 31, 2026. A pay equity committee will be responsible for developing the pay equity plan on behalf of the approximately 90,000 CAF members through a collaborative approach.

TBS and CAF are committed to proactively redressing systemic gender-based discrimination in pay practices through pay equity implementation so that women receive equal pay for work of equal value.

The Government of Canada is committed to creating an inclusive public service where women receive equal pay for work of equal value.
