Article 4(2) of the Convention. Partial payment of wages in kind. Further to its previous comments on this matter, the Committee takes note of the Government’s reply in its report.

Article 8. Deductions from wages. The Committee notes that in reply to its previous comments on this matter, the Government indicates that the part of wages which may not be subject to deductions in application of section 161(2) of the Labour Code (which allows deductions based on the employee’s consent or for the repayment of advances to the employer) corresponds to an amount of wages that must be available for the employee to make a living. In particular the Government refers to section 161(2)(a), according to which deductions can be made up to the “deduction-free part” of the wages based on the employee’s consent. The Committee requests the Government to indicate how this “deduction-free part” of the wages is legally defined.
