Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's repeated statement in its report that the Protection of Wages Act of 197g continues to apply and no subsidiary regulations have been adopted. It points out, however, that further measures should be taken to give full effect to the following Articles of the Convention:

1. Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee has noted that section 23(1) of the above Act authorises the agreement on giving allowances and privileges to a worker as part of the remuneration. It asks the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that such allowances in kind are appropriate for the personal use and benefit of the worker and his family and that the value of such allowances is fair and reasonable.

2. Article 7. The Committee notes that no regulations have been made under section 31 of the above Act concerning the control of employer stores and services, including the control of prices. It asks the Government to indicate the measures taken (including penalties prescribed) or envisaged to ensure that such goods and services are provided at fair and reasonable prices.
