Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Equal remuneration for work of equal value. Definition of remuneration. Legislation. In its previous comment, the Committee noted with regret that section 86 of the Labour Code restricted application of the principle of equal remuneration to “conditions of work, qualifications and output”. The Committee also noted that section 7.8 of the Labour Code, which defines the concept of “remuneration”, excludes benefits to which the principle enshrined in the Convention applies. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that no steps have been taken to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention, but that this question is to be addressed shortly. The Committee urgently requests the Government to take the necessary steps to revise the provisions of the Labour Code in order to ensure that the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value is explicitly included in the Code and that it applies to all components of remuneration as defined in Article 1(a) of the Convention.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
