Coincident to the observance of International Women’s Day last March 8, gender equality at the workplace got a big boost from the recent decision of the Supreme Court with regard to a provision in
Henceforth, their employees’ compulsory retirement age, if any, should be gender-neutral and that goes too for all agreements that may be entered into in the future.
Ideally, gender should not be a factor in the management of employees who work in the same workplace. To maintain their morale, it is essential that they be dealt with equally. In the same token, in CBAs that provide for paternity leave benefits, only male employees are allowed to avail themselves of that leave to enable them to assist their better half in attending to the addition to their family.To the credit of some more enlightened employers, they permit their female employees to take a break from their work when their monthly periods prevent them from reporting for work.
Female employees have no reason to complain of discrimination if they are excluded from those assignments, especially if overtime pay, night differential pay or food allowance go with them, because the employer’s action is in the company’s and female employees’ best interests.
