Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's reference to a draft Act to amend certain provisions of the Labour Code. It notes the sections of the Code to be repealed or modified do not include section 2, which defines the term "worker" in relation to the employer's authority or supervision, or section 5, which excludes domestic servants from the scope of the Code.
The Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures taken or envisaged to ensure the application of the system of minimum wages under the Labour Code to the homeworkers who work under the employer's authority or supervision. It also requests the Government to state whether there exists any other system of minimum wage fixing for the homeworkers who work independently from the employer's authority or supervision, and for domestic servants. If it is not the case, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate reasons for not covering them in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 3, of the Convention. It also asks the Government to continue supplying information on the development towards the amendment of the Labour Code, in so far as it concerns the minimum wage fixing for any group of workers.
