Hundreds of speech-language pathologists in Quebec could each receive several thousand dollars, following a decision by the Administrative Labour Tribunal regarding pay equity. Initially, three speech-language pathologists filed a complaint challenging the job evaluation conducted during the 2010 pay equity compliance audit. They believed certain sub-factors related to their professional responsibilities and training had been undervalued, such as their responsibility for patient care and their supervisory and coordination duties. They won. As a result, the tribunal raised the rating for this job category, assigning it to grade 24. That could amount to several thousand dollars — the exact amount depends on the number of years of seniority and the employee’s pay grade. - This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on Nov. 10, 2026.
