Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Dominica (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's reports and the attached classifications and salary scales applying in the public service.

1. The Committee notes that, in the context of the Public Service Administrative Reform Programme (which is being managed by the Establishment, Personnel and Training Department), use is being made of a job evaluation manual which aims at applying the principle of the Convention. Please forward information on any measures taken in the course of the present reform that are pertinent to the application of the Convention. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government could forward a copy of the most recent Minimum Wage Proclamation, which was unfortunately not received with the report.

2. In its previous comment, the Committee noted that an ILO mission to the country was scheduled for 1996 with a view, among other things, to assisting the Government in responding to a number of points raised by the Committee. The Committee looks forward to receiving information on the technical assistance provided and hopes that the Government's next report will contain full information on the application of the Convention, in accordance with the report form approved by the Governing Body.
