Articles 8 and 10 of the Convention. Deductions from wages – Attachment or assignment of wages. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the draft decree provided for under section 137 of the Labour Code has already been validated by the National Council for Labour and Social Legislation (CNTLS) and will soon be submitted to the Council of Ministers for validation. Noting that, in the absence of this new decree, it is colonial Decree No. 61-85 of 6 October 1961 which is still in force, even though its content is obsolete, the Committee looks forward to the Government ensuring the validation of the new decree and sending a copy of the decree once it has been adopted.

Article 12. Regular payment of wages. In the absence of any new information on this point in the Government’s report and noting that the country is still experiencing difficulties with regard to the regular payment of wages resulting in wage arrears in a number of sectors, the Committee again requests the Government to provide detailed information on the extent of the problem, indicating the number of workers affected, the total amount of wages due, and the number of enterprises and branches of activity concerned. It also requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or contemplated to prevent the practice of unpaid wages or wage arrears.

Article 14. Composition of the payslip. Noting that the order provided for by section 129 of the Labour Code, establishing the composition of the payslip, has been validated by the CNTLS, the Committee requests the Government to send a copy of this order once it has been adopted.
