Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

Article 4, paragraph 2, of the Convention. Further to its earlier comments, the Committee notes that the Government refers again in its report to section 104 of the Labour Code. This provision forbids the payment of all or part of the wages in kind, subject to the provision of Chapter I of Title IV on wages. However, section 100(4) of Chapter I provides that Orders of the Minster responsible for Labour shall establish, among other matters, the cases in which supplies, other than those under sections 97 and 98 (board and lodging), must be granted. For a number of years, the Committee has been asking the Government whether there are regulations which allow payment of part of the wages in kind other than board and lodging. It hopes the Government will indicate whether, by virtue of section 100(4), Orders have been adopted regarding the payment of wages in kind and that it will supply information on the application in practice of sections 97 and 98 of the Labour Code.
