Equal pay laws.

The Algerian Public Service Law, specifically Law No. 133-66 dated June 2, 1966, encapsulates the laws of wage equality, with a firm dedication to assessing and rectifying gender-based pay disparities.

Within this foundational law, Article Five explicitly underscores that there should be no differentiation between genders in the application of this law, while retaining the necessary considerations related to physical readiness or specific duties for designated positions as outlined in the foundational regulations.

Furthermore, Article 26 reinforces this commitment, stating that, as per Article 27 of Order No. 06-03, dated July 15, 2006, any form of employee discrimination based on opinions, gender, origin, or personal and social circumstances is strictly impermissible.

Article 74, found in the same Order, firmly establishes the principle of equality in public service recruitment, further emphasizing the commitment to equitable practices.

The Algerian legislature has established a fundamental, overarching principle that unequivocally prohibits any gender-based differentiation in candidates seeking public service positions. Any actions to the contrary are deemed unlawful, potentially subject to annulment if contested in administrative courts.

It is important to note that the University of Oum El Bouaghi applies these legal provisions and has a policy in place to ensure pay scale equity, including a commitment to measuring and rectifying gender pay disparities.
