This paper is a case‐study of how the mineral sands industry employed a participative process in determining job relativities among award‐covered employees pursuant to the National Wage Case Structural Efficiency Principle. It is an example of how employers, employees, their union and the employer representative body can work effectively together to achieve a timely, acceptable and credible change in the workplace. Employee participation is discussed in terms of available reports on other participative initiatives in pay determination. Broadly based employee involvement is also discussed as a means of achieving pay equity.
