What is the interest rate?

The Pay Equity Act provides that if the employer does not pay the adjustments on the due date, interest of 5% is applicable. The tool calculates the amount of interest applicable on the adjustment amount owed for each pay period. This is a simple interest calculation, at an annual rate of 5%. The amount of interest is rounded to the second decimal place.
