Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

Convention (n° 100) sur l'égalité de rémunération, 1951 - Haïti (Ratification: 1958)

With reference to its previous direct requests, the Committee notes the Government's report, according to which the Government is not at present in a position to supply the information previously requested, although the Government adds that it undertakes to carry out an exhaustive inquiry into conditions of work, taking into account the provisions of Convention No. 100. The Committee requests the Government to provide information in its next report on the outcome of this inquiry and the progress achieved in this respect.

The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will provide the specific information requested in its previous request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes that the national tripartite committee which has the task, inter alia, of undertaking an objective appraisal of jobs with a view to fixing wages, has commenced its work but has not yet turned to the problem of wages. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to supply detailed information on this subject and in particular on the methods used for the appraisal of jobs on the basis of the work to be performed. The Committee recalls that it examined the objective appraisal of jobs in paragraphs 138 to 150 of its 1986 General Survey on Equal Remuneration and requests the Government to refer to the above Survey when dealing with the question of the methods of job appraisal.

2. The Committee requests the Government to supply copies of some of the collective agreements applicable to sectors of activity in which a large number of women are employed and to indicate the manner in which the principle of equal remuneration is applied in the case of wages that are above the legal minimum.
