The recommendation is to pay office managers as much as computer systems managers based on a comparison of skills required and responsibilities involved. This is an example of pay equity program, which aims to ensure that jobs requiring comparable skills, effort, and responsibility receive equal pay regardless of gender, race, or other characteristics. It is not a skill enhancement program, which focuses on developing employees' skills, nor an employment equity program, which aims to remove barriers to employment for historically disadvantaged groups. It is also not an anti-discrimination program, which focuses on preventing discrimination in employment based on prohibited grounds.
