Articles 1 to 3 of the Convention. Application in law. The Committee recalls that section 9 of the Labour Code stipulates “equal wages for equal work”, whereas the Convention encompasses the broader principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. Noting that the Government is taking measures to adopt a new Labour Code, the Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to ensure that the Convention’s principle is fully reflected in the new legislation, requiring not only equal remuneration for the same or equal work, but also for work of equal value. The Committee also urges the Government to ensure that the principle of equal remuneration applies to all elements of remuneration as defined in Article 1(a) of the Convention. Recalling that the Government is under an obligation to ensure the application of the Convention in the public sector, the Committee asks the Government to ensure that a method for the determination of public sector remuneration will be put in place that takes the principle of the Convention fully into account, including through the use of objective job evaluation based on the content of the work performed. The Committee asks the Government to take all necessary measures to ensure that the new Labour Code includes provisions fully reflecting the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value and to keep the Committee informed of the progress made in this regard.
