Pay Equity and Employment Standards Enforcement

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Continuum Entry

Overview

Accelerates Pay Equity Act implementation, extends scope, establishes proactive enforcement. Connects to H-01 proactive audit framework. Automatic penalties for non-filing. Wage transparency mandate.

Problem Statement

pay_equity_implementation_rate is 31%. gender_pay_gap_index is 0.87. employment_equity_plan_compliance_rate is 44%. The legislation exists. The regulations exist. What does not exist is the enforcement capacity to require compliance at scale.

Proposed Approach

PAY EQUITY ACCELERATION: Tripled enforcement capacity, $50K/month automatic penalties for non-filing. SCOPE EXTENSION to all federally regulated employers and federal contractors above $1M. PROACTIVE AUDIT INTEGRATION with H-01 cycle. EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS: 10 days paid sick leave enforcement, right to disconnect, anti-reprisal with automatic reinstatement. WAGE TRANSPARENCY: salary ranges required, salary history questions prohibited.

Anticipated Impacts

pay_equity_implementation_rate rises from 31% toward 88%; gender_pay_gap_index improves from 0.87 toward 0.96; employment_equity_plan_compliance_rate rises from 44%; rights_enforcement_accessibility_index improves.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 110). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
