The Equal Remuneration Act 1976 aims to provide equal remuneration to men and women workers for similar work. It prohibits discrimination in recruitment, promotions, training or transfers based on sex. Same work or work of a similar nature is defined as work requiring equal skill, effort and responsibility under similar working conditions. The Act establishes Advisory Committees with at least half women members to advise on increasing employment opportunities for women. Authorities are appointed to hear claims and complaints, and employers must maintain registers related to workers.
