Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Greece (Ratification: 1975)

Public sector. The Committee recalls it previous comments regarding the classification in 18 different wage scales provided for under Law No. 3205/2003 establishing the basic earnings and benefits of civil servants, employees of public entities and local organizations. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that under the Act and relevant collective agreements remuneration is established on the basis of the workers’ level of education, qualifications and years of service, taking into account the peculiarities of the workplace and the type of work performed. The Committee nevertheless asks the Government to indicate whether, in establishing job classifications and wage scales for the civil service and for public employees, any specific method for the evaluation of the different jobs is being used with a view to ensuring that tasks traditionally performed by women are not undervalued. Please also continue to provide statistical information on the distribution of men and women in the different salary scales and the corresponding wages.

Enforcement. Parts III to V of the report form. The Committee reiterates its request for information on the specific activities carried out by the Labour Inspectorate and the General Accounts Office of the Ministry of Economy and Finance with a view to monitoring the application of the legislation applying the Convention.
