Workforce pay rates and sex

​This dataset provides the ranges of hourly rates of pay for all City job classifications, corresponding job titles and the breakdown of staff by sex within these classifications. The dataset does not include information from the Vancouver Public Library and the Vancouver Police Department. NoteThis dataset was published in 2019 as ‘workforce pay rates and gender’. In 2022, the dataset name was corrected to ‘Workforce pay rates and sex’, which is a more accurate reflection of the data categories available at the time of collection (see below for more details). Efforts are now underway to improve and increase transparency of data collection methods, and update categories to be inclusive of those outside the gender binary, and reflect gender instead of sex. Sex breakdown and salary ranges are only shown for a classification or specific position title when there are 10 or more people in that group. This is necessary in order to preserve confidentiality. If there are fewer than 10, the groups (within the same group level) are aggregated until the total exceeds the minimum number threshold.To explain the aggregation in more details:Data for each year is aggregated separately. If necessary, groups are aggregated in this order: Exempt/Union, Classification and then by Position title. Multiple aggregations (of the same group level) may take place in order to meet the minimum number requirement of 10 people. These aggregations are labelled with *Multiple. The field Data Category explains whether a row represents a detailed group with data, an aggregated group with data, or a group where detailed data is suppressed (reported as part of an aggregation). Data accuracy​The minimum and maximum hourly rates listed reflect the current rates of pay for the classification for the effective year. For the full salary range of each classification, refer to the relevant Collective Agreement here​. The City’s employee database currently contains the sex designations ‘male’ or ‘female’ for employees. Historically the sex information was indicated by the managers on hiring forms, and has not been explicitly asked of or verified by the employee. As such, not all employees have been provided designations as male or female, and so the total count for “Male” and “Female” combined may not equal the total employee count. Sex is typically understood to be a biological concept, distinct from gender which is a social concept. With updates in technology and data collection methods, the City is moving towards collecting self-disclosed gender information (woman, man, gender-diverse etc.) for all employees. This will lead to a more accurate picture of the City’s workforce and will become the basis of this reporting exercise in future years. The data does not include employees who are unionized and currently acting in exempt positions. Data as in effect in the City’s payroll information system on April 30th of the reporting year​​

本数据集提供了城市各类职业分类的小时薪资范围、相应职位名称以及在这些分类中按性别划分的员工构成情况。数据集中未包含温哥华公共图书馆和温哥华警察局的信息。请注意，该数据集于2019年首次发布，原名《劳动力薪资水平和性别》，并于2022年更正为《劳动力薪资水平和性别》，这一名称更准确地反映了数据收集时的数据类别（详情见下文）。目前，我们正致力于改进和增强数据收集方法的透明度，并更新类别以涵盖性别二元之外的人群，并反映性别而非性别的概念。当某一分类或特定职位标题的群体中人数达到10人或以上时，仅展示性别划分和薪资范围。这是为了保护隐私所必需的。若人数不足10人，则将同一层级的组别合并，直至总数超过最低人数阈值。以下是对合并的详细解释：每年数据均单独合并。如有必要，按以下顺序进行合并：豁免/工会、分类然后按职位名称。可能进行多次合并（同一层级的组别）以满足10人的最低人数要求。这些合并被标记为“Multiple”。数据类别字段解释了该行代表的是具有数据的详细组别、具有数据的合并组别，还是详细数据被抑制的组别（作为合并的一部分报告）。数据准确性：所列出的最低和最高小时薪资反映了有效年度的分类当前薪资水平。要了解每个分类的完整薪资范围，请参阅相关集体协议（详见此处）。该市的员工数据库目前包含员工的性别标识“男性”或“女性”。历史上，性别信息由管理者在招聘表格上标注，并未向员工明确询问或验证。因此，并非所有员工都已被提供性别标识，因此“男性”和“女性”的总数可能不等于总员工数。性别通常被视为一个生物学概念，与性别这一社会概念相区别。随着技术和数据收集方法的更新，该市正朝着收集所有员工的自我披露性别信息（女性、男性、性别多元等）的方向发展。这将有助于更准确地描绘该市劳动力的情况，并成为未来几年报告工作的基础。数据不包括在豁免职位上任职的工会化员工。数据反映了报告年度4月30日该市薪资信息系统的实际情况。
