Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending 30 November 1990 and the information that it contains in reply to the second point of its previous direct request.

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.
