Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1998, publiée 87ème session CIT (1999)

Further to the previous direct request, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report, in particular the information on the laws that permit deductions from wages by virtue of section 201, item (1) (Article 8 of the Convention).

The Committee notes that the Government's report describes the reasons for which deductions may be made, but does not mention the limit of permitted deductions. It draws the Government's attention to the requirement of Article 8 that the extent to which deductions from wages may be made should be prescribed regarding the permitted cases of deductions. The Committee again asks the Government to indicate measures taken or envisaged to give effect to this provision of the Convention.
