Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Dominica (Ratification: 1983)

1. The Committee notes that the Government's report calls on the technical assistance of the Office in the current job evaluation exercise being undertaken by the Personnel Services Branch of the Establishment Division in the Office of the Prime Minister. Aware that plans for a mission to the country for this specific purpose have been postponed due to recent severe hurricane damage, the Committee trusts that a visit to the country will go ahead early in 1996 and that it will be able to assist the Government in answering all the points raised in its previous direct request. The Committee recalls that these points concerned: the scope of the term "wages" used in the Labour Standards Act, 1977; Article 2, paragraph 1, and Article 3, paragraph 3, of the Convention; as well as points III, IV and V of the report form requesting information on the application in practice of the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value.

2. The Committee looks forward to receiving information in the Government's next report on the ILO's technical assistance, and the results that it may have given rise to with particular reference to the public service job evaluation exercise.
