The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Articles 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12 of the Convention. Scope of application, partial payment of wages in kind, wage deductions, attachment and assignment of wages, and payment of wages at regular intervals. The Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention for a number of years to certain inconsistencies of the Protection of Wages Act (Chapter 89:07) and has been suggesting that appropriate steps be taken to give full effect to the requirements of Articles 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12 of the Convention. In a previous report, the Government states that regrettably there has been no change to national legislation but adds that the amendment of the labour legislation has been included in its Decent Work Agenda with a view to bringing national law in full compliance with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures in the very near future in order to give full effect to the above-referenced provisions of the Convention.
