Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

See under Convention No. 26, as follows:

The Committee notes that the Government refers in its report to the draft Labour Code which has been transmitted to the Office and which is currently under discussion by the National Assembly. It notes that section 141 of this draft Code, which concerns in particular the fixing of the guaranteed minimum inter-occupational wage by means of decrees, does not provide for consultation with employers and workers. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the appropriate measures to ensure, in conformity with Article 3, paragraph 2(2), of the Convention, that employers and workers are associated in the operation of minimum wage fixing machinery.

The Committee also requests the Government to supply information on the measures which have been taken to ensure that the wages which are actually paid are not less than the statutory minimum wage and that workers to whom the statutory minimum wage is applicable and who have been paid wages at less than these rates are entitled to recover the amount by which they have been underpaid, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.

The Committee also requests the Government to supply information on the results of the application of methods for fixing minimum wages, and particularly the approximate numbers of workers covered by the regulations, the minimum rates of wages fixed, and the more important of the other conditions, if any, established relevant to the minimum wages, as required by Article 5.
