No, the Code prohibits the employer from causing any gender discrimination in matters relating
to the wages for the same work or work of similar nature done by any employee.
The Code has done away with the male, female and neutralized it by the expression gender to
recognize and consider the transgenders and their rights as well.
Except where the women employment is restricted or prohibited by any law for the time being
in force (e.g., Maternity Benefit, Mines, etc.), the employer is mandated NOT to discriminate
on the grounds of GENDER while fixing the wages, recruitment process to provide
employment opportunity and in work conditions.
