Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1994, Publicación: 81ª reunión CIT (1994)

The Committee notes with interest that section 7(2) of the Employment Regulations, 1966, which relieved employers of the obligation of providing housing or paying a rent allowance in respect of married employees living with their husbands, has been amended by the Employment (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations, 1990 (Statutory Instrument No. 61 of 1990). The amended section is drafted in a gender-neutral way, providing that in the case of a married couple in employment, only one spouse, as the couple may decide, shall be provided with housing and an employer shall pay a rent allowance to the spouse who is not provided with housing.
