Home /Council compensation under review News21 April 2021 By Chad Ingram A pay equity and compensation review for Algonquin Highlands staff will also entail one for members of council. Councillors received a report regarding the review during an April 15 online meeting. “As a public sector employer, the Pay Equity Act requires the township to demonstrate that pay equity has been achieved and maintained,” read the report, prepared by chief administrative officer Angie Bird. “The township has maintained the compensation program since 2006 and salary grid adjustments have been made periodically to remain competitive in the market. Reviews were then completed in 2011 and 2016 in accordance with legislative requirements.”
