Equal Remuneration
Equal Remuneration : ILO Convention No. 100 (1951) aims to provide equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. ILO Member States having ratified the Convention shall promote and, in so far as is consistent with the methods in operation for determining rates of remuneration, ensure the application to all workers of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women workers for work of equal value. Convention No. 100 shall apply to basic wages or salaries and to any additional emoluments whatsoever, payable directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, by the employer to the worker and arising out of his/her employment. The Convention defines equal remuneration for work of equal value as remuneration established without discrimination based on sex. This principle may be applied by means of national laws or regulations, legal machinery for wage determination, collective agreements or a combination of these various means. One of the means specified for assisting in giving effect to the Convention is the objective appraisal of jobs on the basis of the work to be performed. The Convention provides that governments shall cooperate with employers' and workers' organizations for the purpose of giving effect to its provisions. See: Equal pay; Equitable wages
