Identical Remuneration for Work of Equal Value
The principle that pay should be equal for jobs requiring similar skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions.
Definition
This core principle, established by Ley N° 28983 and operationalized by Ley N° 30709, mandates that remuneration for work must be identical when the work performed is of equal value, irrespective of the gender of the worker. 'Work of equal value' is determined by objective criteria such as responsibilities, required skills, effort, and working conditions, ensuring pay equity based on job content rather than gender.
