Paragraph
Paragraph text
Conditions of work in this particular subparagraph include the "conditions" identified in the work contract that can affect the rate of remuneration, as well as broader "conditions" referred to in other paragraphs of article 7. Thus, a woman performing work of equal value to that of a male counterpart should not have fewer contractual protections or more arduous contractual requirements. This requirement does not prevent women from enjoying specific conditions of work relating to pregnancy and maternity protection.
