Equal Remuneration Act, 1976
Equal Remuneration Act, 1976
Build an equitable workplace by ensuring equal pay for equal work, and protect your organization from discrimination claims.
Introduction and Value Proposition
The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976, is a cornerstone legislation that mandates equal pay for equal work for men and women, prohibiting gender-based discrimination in remuneration. While a critical step towards workplace equality, ensuring compliance requires a meticulous review of pay structures, job descriptions, and recruitment practices. Non-compliance can lead to significant reputational damage and legal consequences. PCS provides expert advisory services to help you audit your practices, ensure compliance, and foster a fair and inclusive work environment.
