The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:
Repetition
Article 3 of the Convention. Objective job evaluation. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the job evaluation process in the public sector is currently under review, and that consultants have been engaged for this purpose. The Government states, however, that there is no pay discrimination in the public service, and that women hold the majority of managerial positions. It notes further the Government’s indication that the Ministry of Labour encourages job evaluation in the private sector. The Committee asks the Government to keep it apprised of developments in the review of the public sector job evaluation process, and hopes that ensuring equal remuneration for women and men for work of equal value, as set out in the Convention and section 27 of the Employment Act, 1999, will be an explicit objective of the review process. The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on the specific measures taken to promote objective job evaluation in the private sector. The Committee would also welcome receiving statistics regarding the number of women and men in the various levels of the public sector, including the civil service, as well as for the private sector, if possible, with specific reference to the earnings levels.
Article 4. Cooperation with workers’ and employers’ organizations. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that it seeks to address issues of the value of jobs, for example in the collective agreement of the Grenada Ports Authority, and the Grenada Electricity Services. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the measures taken to assist in addressing the issues of “equal value” with respect to the Grenada Ports Authority and the Grenada Electricity Services. Please also provide information on any other steps taken to give effect to the principle of the Convention through cooperation with workers’ and employers’ organizations, including through training or awareness raising on the principle.
Enforcement. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that there have been no cases submitted in violation of section 27 of the Employment Act. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on the nature, number and outcome of any cases on unequal remuneration. Please also provide information on any violations of section 27 brought to the attention of the Department of Labour, and any activities undertaken to increase the awareness of the judiciary and the labour inspectorate of the principle of the Convention.
