Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

Article 12, paragraph 1, of the Convention. In its previous direct request, the Committee noted that a periodical meeting of the labour and social security officers, enlarged to include employers' and workers' organizations, which was held in February 1991, had recommended the repeal of section 206 of the Decree of 7 September 1967, which exempts all agricultural, industrial and commercial undertakings from the obligation of paying at regular intervals not exceeding 15 days the wages of workers employed on a daily or weekly basis. It notes that the Government refers once again in its report to a recommendation made by the above meeting. The Committee also notes the Government's indications that this section of the Decree has not been given any effect in practice for a long time and that the revision of the Labour Code which was to have taken into account this recommendation has still not been carried out.

The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to report in the near future the progress achieved in bringing this provision into conformity with the Convention and with the practice described by the Government.
