Trabajo de Igual Valor
Work that, while not necessarily identical, is considered equivalent in terms of skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions.
Definition
Trabajo de Igual Valor (Work of Equal Value) is a core concept in pay equity legislation, signifying that jobs should be compared not solely on their titles or specific tasks, but on a broader assessment of their intrinsic value to the employer. This evaluation typically considers factors such as the required skills, the effort demanded, the level of responsibility involved, and the working conditions under which the work is performed. The principle ensures that jobs predominantly held by one gender are not undervalued compared to different jobs of equivalent value predominantly held by another gender.
