Convenio sobre igualdad de remuneración, 1951 (núm. 100) - Perú (Ratificación : 1960)

Enforcement. The Committee recalls that in its previous comments, it asked the Government to continue providing information on labour inspection and to indicate in particular how many complaints and inspections relate specifically to the application of the principle of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on labour inspections conducted in relation to discrimination on the basis of sex. The Committee also notes the observations of the Autonomous Workers’ Confederation of Peru (CATP) and the Association of Trade Union Confederations of Peru, which emphasize that the information supplied by the Government does not specifically refer to cases involving violations of the principle of the Convention. Moreover, the Committee notes that the regulations implementing the Act prohibiting Gender Pay Discrimination (No. 30709 of 26 December 2017), adopted by Supreme Decree No. 002-2018-TR of 8 March 2018, provide that the lack of a chart of categories and duties or a pay policy complying with the provisions established by law constitutes a “serious infringement” of the labour legislation where established by the labour inspectorate (third final supplementary provision). The Committee requests the Government to provide information on specific violations of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value detected by labour inspectors, the penalties imposed and the compensation awarded, including with regard to the application of Act No. 30709, and on the rulings issued by ordinary or other courts of law in relation to issues of principle relating to the application of the Convention. The Committee also once again requests the Government to supply information on the possibility of providing training for labour inspectors with respect to the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value.
