Article 1(b) of the Convention. Equal remuneration for work of equal value. Legislation. For more than two decades, the Committee has been emphasizing the need to amend section 140 of the Labour Code so that it clearly and fully reflects the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. The Committee recalls that the concept of “work of equal value” lies at the heart of the fundamental right of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value, and the promotion of equality. It permits a broad scope of comparison, including but going beyond equal remuneration for “equal”, “the same” or “similar” work, and also encompasses work that is of an entirely different nature, which is nevertheless of equal value (see the General Survey on the fundamental Conventions, 2012, paragraphs 672–679). The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the draft revised version of the Labour Code has taken account of the various proposed amendments, including that of section 140, but that it is still in the process of being adopted. The Committee trusts that the draft revised version of the Labour Code will be adopted soon and requests the Government to take the necessary steps to ensure that the provisions of section 140 fully reflect the principle of the Convention. It also asks the Government to send a copy of the new provisions once they have been adopted.
