Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. Definition of remuneration. Legislation. The Committee previously urged the Government to take the necessary measures to bring section 32 of the Federal Act No. 8 of 1980 (Labour Law) into conformity with the Convention, as it only provides for equal remuneration between men and women for the same work, which is narrower than the concept of “work of equal value” provided for in the Convention. The Committee notes with satisfaction that section 32 of the Labour Law was amended by Legislative Decree No.6 of 2020 as follows: “a woman shall be granted an equal remuneration to a man’s remuneration if she performs the same work, or another work of equal value. The Council of Ministers – upon the proposal of the Minister of Human Resources and Emiratization – shall issue a decision which specifies the necessary rules and checks for the evaluation of work of equal value”. The Committee also notes the broad definition of remuneration which encompasses all the emoluments in kind or cash (the UAE minimum wage per month is US$1,361).
The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
