Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. Operation of the minimum wage-fixing machinery. In its previous comments, the Committee recalled that the most recent decree fixing the minimum wage pursuant to sections 110 and 114 of the Labour Code was adopted in 1988 and that it was outdated. Noting that the Government indicated in its 2011 report that a study on the setting of a national minimum wage was being finalized, it requested the Government to provide information on any progress achieved in that regard. The Committee notes with regret that a new decree fixing the minimum wage has still not been adopted. It notes that the Government refers in its report to an agreement signed with the trade unions to conduct a study on fixing the national minimum wage. The Committee requests the Government to take without delay the necessary measures to fix the minimum wage pursuant to articles 110 and 114 of the Labour Code and to provide information in this regard, including on any studies carried out in this area and on consultation with the social partners.
