Articles 1, 6 and 7 of the Convention. Definition of the term “wages”, prohibition of limiting the freedom of workers to dispose of their wages and the use of works stores free from coercion. With reference to its 2009 comment, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Council of Ministers adopted a Bill on 8 May 2013 to amend Act No. 92-020 of 23 September 1992 issuing the Labour Code, which gives effect to the provisions of the Convention, and particularly to Articles 1 (definition of the term “wages”), 6 (prohibition of limiting the freedom of workers to dispose of their wages) and 7 (use of works stores free from coercion) of the Convention. The Government adds that the National Assembly will approve the Bill before it is promulgated by the President of the Republic. The Committee hopes that the Bill will be enacted in the very near future and requests the Government to keep it informed of any progress in this respect and to provide the text of the Act when it has been promulgated.

Article 12. Payment of wages at regular intervals. The Committee notes that, according to the Government’s indications, enterprises in Mali in all sectors have encountered enormous economic and financial difficulties, which have had the consequence of many workers being temporarily laid off, repeated delays in the regular payment of wages, and even the closure of several enterprises. Although it would appear that the problem of wage arrears is directly related to the general situation of the country, the Committee considers that economic and financial difficulties do not dispense the Government from its responsibility of ensuring the payment in good time and in full to workers of the wages due for the work performed or for services provided, in accordance with the requirements of Article 12 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will intensify its efforts and use all the means at its disposal to resolve any delays in the payment of wages. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any progress achieved in this respect.
