Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes that the national tripartite committee which has the task, inter alia, of undertaking an objective appraisal of jobs with a view to fixing wages, has commenced its work but has not yet turned to the problem of wages. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to supply detailed information on this subject and in particular on the methods used for the appraisal of jobs on the basis of the work to be performed. The Committee recalls that it examined the objective appraisal of jobs in paragraphs 138 to 150 of its 1986 General Survey on equal remuneration and requests the Government to refer to the above Survey when dealing with the question of the methods of job appraisal.

2. The Committee requests the Government to supply copies of some of the collective agreements applicable to sectors of activity in which a large number of women are employed and to indicate the manner in which the principle of equal remuneration is applied in the case of wages that are above the legal minimum.
