Following the ratification of Convention 100, the tripartite partners, i.e. the National Trades Union Congress, the Singapore Business Federation/Singapore National Employees Federation and the Ministry of Manpower, issued a Tripartite Declaration on Equal Remuneration for Men and Women Performing Work of Equal Value on 6 Nov 2002.

The tripartite partners are recommending unionised companies to adopt the equal pay principle by incorporating a clause on equal remuneration into their collective agreements. A sample of the clause 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.

(2) The employer shall ensure that the principles of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value are adhered to. Regardless of their gender, employees will be paid and rewarded based on the value of job, performance and contribution.
