Article 1(b) of the Convention. Legislation. Work of equal value. With respect to its previous comments regarding section 24 of the Labour Standards Act, 1977, which does not give full legislative expression to the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Industrial Relations Advisory Committee has discussed the matter and that recommendations have been forwarded to the Minister for Labour consistent with the proposed Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Model legislation on equal remuneration for work of equal value. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the status of the recommendations forwarded to the Minister of Labour, and expresses the firm hope that the Government will be able to report progress in giving fully legislative effect to the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value in the near future.

The Committee notes that the Government indicates that the job evaluation and classification exercise in the public service is still ongoing, and is expected to conclude by December 2012.
