HR in Pakistan : Equal Employment Practices
Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) prohibits discrimination against anyone on any pretext. EEOspeaks of the equality of every human being (irrespective of gender, religion, caste, ethnicity, color,age, physical disability etc) while considering a candidate before, during and after employment. EEOanti-discrimination protections apply to all of the terms and conditions of employment, including, butnot limited to recruitment and selection, promotions, testing, training and development opportunities,hiring, transfers, work assignments, discipline, compensation, discharge, performance evaluation,working environment and other conditions of service. Affirmative action (AA) is an effort to undo theunfair practices of the past in the organizations. AA is a means to level the playing field for females,individuals with disabilities, underprivileged classes and minorities as a logical step towards equalemployment. Pakistani law makes it obligatory for employers to follow EEO principles. AffirmativeAction however is expected to be implemented as a voluntary component of EEO Policy. EEO doesnot, in any circumstance, mean that the managers should hire unqualified candidates in breach of merit. This is only a mechanism to avoid unfair practices and biases during employment process
IN LAW
Pakistan constitution puts a ban on discrimination on the basis of sex in appointment in "the servicein Pakistan", provided that the performance and functions of the job can be carried out by, and isdeemed suitable for, both sexes (Art. 27). It also provides that "steps shall be taken to ensure fullparticipation of women in all spheres of national life" (Art. 34). The constitution commits the State tosecure the well-being of the people, irrespective of, inter-alia, their sex by (Art. 38 (a)) raising their standard of living, by preventing the concentration of wealth and means of production anddistribution in the hands of a few to the detriment of general interest and by ensuring equitableadjustment of rights between employers and employees, and landlords and tenants.Pakistan is a signatory of the following international instruments:
•
ILO Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111) (ratified on24/1/1961)
•
ILO Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) (ratified on 11/10/2001)
•
UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, 1979(ratified on 12/3/1996)
•
ILO Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons) Convention, 1983 (No.159) (ratified on 25/10/1994)
•
ILO Underground Work (Women) Convention, 1935 (No. 45) (ratified on 25/3/1938)On 30 April 2000, the federal government announced its Labor Welfare Package for Workers makingit obligatory for the organizations to offer gender equality and affirmative action. In summary, itwarrants:
•
Equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value through appropriatelegislation.
•
Enhancement of maternity benefits for female mine workers.
•
Safeguards against sexual harassment through appropriate actions.
•
Recruitment of female labor inspectors for enforcement of labor laws on female workers.
•
Increase in percentage of reserved seats of workers and peasants at Union Councils, TehsilCouncils and District Councils in the Devolution of Power Plan.
•
Extension of coverage of laws to agriculture and other informal sectors of economy.The Federal Government introduced new labor policy in 2002 empowering labor courts to order re-instatement of illegally dismissed workers or award reasonable compensation in lieu of re-instatement. This policy also calls for extension and upgradation of vocational and industrial trainingprograms to meet the changes of globalization and avoidance of redundancies. If implemented intrue spirit, this is expected to be a right step towards affirmative action and equal employmentopportunity. A significant characteristic of new labor policy is strengthening bilateralism with leastlegislative and state intervention. This is expected to result in good employer-employee relationshipthrough the strategy of interdependence by employers and employees and their mutual trust. Newlaws also promise protection of contractual labor by redefining temporary jobs in accordance withinternational standards. The policy pledges equal opportunities for all and categorically bans childand bonded labor, and discrimination on the basis of gender, sex, race etc.There are other recent steps taken by the Pakistan Government that have improved the recruitmentenvironment in Pakistan, like: National Policy and Plan of Action for Elimination of Child Labor (2000); National Policy and Plan of Action for the Abolition of Bonded Labor (2001); andendorsement of ILO Conventions 100 and 182.Federal and provincial governments have also made legislations about the provision of 2% quota for special (disabled) people in the employment in all departments. This was enacted by the DisabledPersons (Employment and Rehabilitation) Ordinance 1981
In Practice
Contrary to the federal laws, Pakistani organizations in practice do not offer equal employmentopportunities to the candidates and there are instances of discrimination against candidates on thebasis of gender, religion, ethnic origin etc. Since the literacy rate in females is less than males, thereis only a limited female presence in the organizations and it is not deemed viable or safe for a femaleto be employed in a predominantly male set-up. This situation is nonetheless on the change in theorganizations in the big cities where females can in general work better than males, for example inthe education sector, textile designing and interior decorations industry.Even if the EO principles are observed in an organization, the so-called jargons of ''circumstances''and ''acceptability'' are used as a cover for inappropriate discrimination. This unfairness is practicedduring shortlisting of applications as well as in interviews. The shortlisting prejudices have also beenobserved in the federal and provincial government jobs to be filled through Public Service COMMISIO.
