Equal Remuneration: Sample Clause 1

The tripartite partners, ie National Trades Union Congress, Singapore Business Federation/Singapore National Employers Federation and Ministry of Manpower, issued a Tripartite Declaration on Equal Remuneration for Men and Women Performing Work of Equal Value on 6 Nov 02. They recommend that unionised companies adopt the equal pay principle by incorporating a clause on equal remuneration in their collective agreements, a sample of which is given below:

  1. Both parties accept that the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value shall apply. "Remuneration" means salary (as defined in the Employment Act) and any other consideration, whether in cash or in kind, which the employee receives directly or indirectly, in respect of employment.

  3. If the grievance is not resolved within one week, the matter shall then be referred to the Department Manager.
