Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Grenada (Ratification: 1994)

Discriminatory minimum wage order. The Committee recalls its previous observations raising concerns regarding the Minimum Wage Order SRO 11 (2002) which specified different minimum wages for female and male agricultural workers, and urging the Government to take steps to ensure that it was revised so as not to establish discriminatory wages. The Committee notes with satisfaction that the Minimum Wage Order SRO (2002) has been replaced by the Minimum Wage Order SRO 30 (2011), which came into force on 1 January 2011, and provides a uniform minimum wage for agricultural workers. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on any changes in the minimum wage orders, and to provide copies thereof, as well as information on their implementation in practice.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
