The Pay Equity Commission (the Commission) is made up of two separate and independent bodies:
- The Pay Equity Office (the Office) is the regulatory agency that is responsible for the enforcement of the Act.
- The Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal (the Tribunal) is the quasi-judicial body that is responsible for adjudicating disputes arising from the enforcement of the Act.
The Commissioner is the head of the Commission and the Chief Administrative Officer of the Office, appointed by the Lieutenant–Governor in Council.
