Article 3, paragraph 2(3), and Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Sanctions for non-compliance with the minimum wage. The Committee refers to its previous comment concerning the lack of provisions in the Labour Code of 2001 establishing penalties for infringements of the legislation relating to the guaranteed minimum interoccupational wage (SMIG). It notes that the Government refers very briefly in its last report to draft amendments to the Labour Code. In this regard, the Government indicates that a section in the draft new Labour Code would provide for fines for any violation of the provisions of the Code relating to the SMIG, and for imprisonment in the case of a repeat offence. The Committee recalls the importance of the existence of an effective system of sanctions to ensure compliance with the legislation on the minimum wage and hopes that the Government will soon adopt provisions of the type contained in the abovementioned section of the draft new Labour Code. The Government is requested to provide all relevant information on progress made on the revision of the Labour Code.

The Committee is also raising a number of other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
