With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the inclusion of the definition of remuneration in line with the Convention in section 59 of the Labour Code of 20 June 2001. The Committee also notes that section 60(1) provides that an employer has a duty to specify equal remuneration for men and women for the same kind of work or work of equal value. In the case of a violation of this principle by the employer, the employee has the right to request the remuneration that the employer normally pays for the same work or for work of equal value (section 60(2)). The Government is asked to provide in its future reports information on the application of these provisions in practice and their contribution to closing the prevailing gender income gap in the country, which is approximately 20 per cent.
