Discrimination in Wages

Prohibition of unequal pay based on sex, ethnic origin, language, religion, or belief.

Definition

Discrimination in Wages is explicitly prohibited under Bahraini Labor Law, specifically Article 39, which states that it is unlawful to differentiate in the payment of wages solely based on sex, ethnic origin, language, religion, or belief. This principle extends to gender-based wage discrimination, as highlighted in Article 2 bis. This prohibition is a cornerstone of the law's commitment to equal pay and fair treatment in the workplace.
