Same-work-only (no job-evaluation mandate)Latin America

Is job evaluation required by law in Chile?

Chile guarantees equal pay for 'the same work' under Article 62 bis of its Labour Code — narrower than the equal-value standard of ILO Convention 100, which Chile ratified in 1971. No factor-based job evaluation is required.

What the law covers — and what it doesn’t

Equal pay for the same work; narrower than equal value.

Compensable factors referenced: None.

The law

What this means for employers

Chile currently has no job-evaluation mandate: its equal pay protections apply to the same or substantially similar work, not to different jobs of equal value. Multinational employers should note the gap — pay structures that are compliant here may still need equal-value justification in other jurisdictions, and structured job evaluation remains the recognized good practice for building defensible pay systems.
