Rights & Remedies
Fair and Proper Remuneration
The constitutional right of every person to receive just and appropriate compensation and treatment in employment.
Definition
As stipulated in Article 28D(2) of the 1945 Constitution, 'Every person shall have the right to work and to receive fair and proper remuneration and treatment in employment.' This crucial provision establishes the right to compensation that is equitable, non-discriminatory, and commensurate with the work performed. It serves as a direct constitutional basis for advocating for equal pay and challenging pay disparities that are not justified by legitimate, objective factors.
