Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

The Committee notes the information contained in the report of the Government and the documentation appended thereto.

1. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's reference to the Rules Implementing Republic Act 6725 and to the copies of the statistical data on wage rates and earnings of men and women. As these documents were not received with the report, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would transmit this material to the Office.

2. On a previous occasion, the Committee had commented on an occupational survey which appeared to have been undertaken as a basis for evaluating and classifying occupations, in accordance with the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. The Committee notes from the report that even though the purpose of that survey was to prepare occupational briefs for selected occupations, the Government has indicated that the briefs could indeed provide relevant information for an evaluation exercise. The Committee hopes that the Government will consider making use of the information derived from the survey so as to embark upon an objective appraisal of jobs and that it will provide further information on this matter in its next report.
