Many years ago when I worked part time at a (CUPE unionized job) my pay included 10% "in lieu of benefits" to account for the fact that part time workers didn't get any benefits (vacation, health benefits etc).

When the legislation mandates "equal pay for part-time and full-time workers" does that mean employers must include an "in lieu of benefits" payment, or, to the contrary, does it mean that they cannot (since then part time workers would be paid more)?

In other words, how are the differences in benefits between part time and full time workers considered? Are benefits counted towards wages?
