WORKPLACE RELATIONS ACT 1996 - SECT 624

Orders requiring equal remuneration

             (1)  Subject to this Division, the Commission may make such orders as it considers appropriate to ensure that, for employees covered by the orders, there will be equal remuneration for work of equal value.

             (2)  Without limiting subsection (1), an order under this Division may provide for such increases in rates (other than those set by the AFPC) of remuneration (within the meaning of the Equal Remuneration Convention) as the Commission considers appropriate to ensure that, for employees covered by the order, there will be equal remuneration for work of equal value.

             (3)  However, the Commission may make an order under this Division only if:

                     (a)  the Commission is satisfied that, for the employees to be covered by the order, there is not equal remuneration for work of equal value; and

                     (b)  the order can reasonably be regarded as appropriate and adapted to giving effect to one or more of the following:

                              (i)  the Anti‑Discrimination Conventions;

                             (ii)  the provisions of Recommendations referred to in paragraphs 620(b) and (c).
