Article 12 of the Convention. Payment of wages at regular intervals. Further to its previous observations concerning accumulated wage debt, especially in the public sector, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that all unpaid wages to public employees, which represented the wage bill of 22 months, have now been paid. More concretely, the Government states that wage arrears totalling 240 billion CFA francs (approximately US$28 million), including both unpaid wages and social security contributions, have been settled. With respect to the payment of the sums owed to the former workers of the Ogooué Mining Company (COMILOG), to which the Committee has been drawing attention for several years, the Government indicates that from July 2008 to March 2009, a total amount of 422 million CFA francs (approximately US$934,000) has been paid to 319 out of 912 former workers of the company. The Committee notes with interest these positive developments and trusts that the Government will continue to closely monitor the process of settling any outstanding payments to the workers concerned. The Committee asks the Government to provide together with its next report an updated account on the situation regarding the regular payment of wages, including detailed particulars on any persistent difficulties in either the public or the private sector and the measures taken in response to such situations.
