The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition
Article 3(5). Sub-minimum wage rates. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that 18 special permits have been granted between June 2004 and May 2007 authorizing infirm or physically incapacitated persons to be remunerated at less than the statutory minimum pay rate. The Committee hopes that the situation with regard to special permits is strictly monitored to ensure that the overriding principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value is fully respected while protecting employment opportunities of physically or mentally handicapped workers. It would appreciate receiving more detailed information on the conditions and procedural safeguards accompanying the issuance of such special permits.
Article 5 in conjunction with Part V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to continue transmitting up to date information concerning the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice.

The Committee requests the Government to reply to the points raised above in the light of Employment Relations Act No. 32 of 2008, in particular section 96, which maintains the possibility of individual authorizations for the employment of disabled persons at a rate lower than the applicable minimum wage. The Government is also requested to transmit the text of any new remuneration order applicable to agricultural workers or of any amendment to the remuneration orders currently in force.
