Articles 1(a) and (b) and 2 of the Convention. Definition of remuneration. Equal remuneration for work of equal value. Legislation. In its previous comments, the Committee pointed out that section 4(2) of the Labour Code of 1987, which limited equal remuneration to work of the same nature and the same volume performed under identical conditions, was more restrictive than the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value set out in the Convention. The Committee notes with satisfaction that section 53(5) of Labour Law No. 37/2015 which entered into force in February 2016, provides for “equal wage for men and women for work of equal value”. The Committee further notes that the term “wage” is defined as “any amount or benefit due to the worker in return for any work performed, including all allowances and wages due for overtime” (section 1(14)), in accordance with the Article 1(a) of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the application in practice of section 53(5) of the new Labour Law. It also requests the Government to take steps to raise awareness of the concept of “equal remuneration for work of equal value” among workers, employers and their respective organizations as well as enforcement officials and the general public.
The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
