The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 13
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Objective job evaluation is important to avoid indirect discrimination when determining rates of remuneration and comparing the relative value of different jobs. For example, a distinction between full-time and part-time work - such as the payment of bonuses only to full-time employees - might indirectly discriminate against women employees if a higher percentage of women are part-time workers. Similarly, the objective evaluation of the work must be free from gender bias.
