Article 3 of the Convention. Objective job evaluation. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the “Public sector post classification system” uses the post classification handbook, the list of specializations, the post classification review questionnaire and the annual wage plan for each tax year. The Government indicates that this material allows parameters to be defined for classifying various posts without gender bias, since gender is not among the factors taken into account. The Government also states that the drafts for the reform of the Civil Service Act are still before Congress. In this regard, the Committee recalls that the concept of “equal value” requires a method for measuring and comparing value in relation to various jobs, and this examination must be undertaken on the basis of entirely objective and non-discriminatory criteria. In view of the fact that occupational gender segregation persists, it is vital to ensure that a broad basis of comparison is used. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the distribution of men and women in the various posts of the public sector, including salary levels for different categories. The Government is also requested to indicate how it is ensured that the principle of the Convention is applied in the public sector, including through the post classification handbook and the other tools available.
Parts III to V of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on any court or administrative decisions, and on the findings of inspections, relating to the application of the Convention.
