The Committee notes the information and documents supplied by the Government. However, it notes that the questions concerning Articles 11 and 12 of the Convention, remain unanswered. The Committee recalls that, in 1982, the Government indicated that its comments concerning these Articles had been referred to a committee set up by the Minister of Labour and the Public Service. The Committee hopes that the Government will indicate in its next report whether the necessary measures have been taken with regard to the following points which have been pending since the Convention's ratification:

Article 11, paragraph 1. Issuance of statements of wage payment to all workers, including those employed in the private sector.

Article 11, paragraph 8. Informing workers of their wage rights and restriction of the amounts deductible from wages.

Article 12. Regulation of the maximum amounts and manner of repayment of advances on wages; limitation of the amount of advances made to a worker in consideration of taking up employment; and making legally irrecoverable any advance in excess of the amount laid down.
