Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2004, publiée 93ème session CIT (2005)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s indication in the report to the effect that, although no specific national legislation exists, there has been no problem of application of the Convention in practice as regards Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Convention (Protection of wages of domestic workers), Article 11 (Protection of wages in the case of bankruptcy of the employer concerning those who are not covered by the Companies Act), Article 12, paragraph 1 (Regular payment of wages), and Article 13, paragraph 1 (Payment on working days only and at or near the workplace). The Committee requests the Government to give the matter another consideration on an appropriate occasion so as to bring national legislation into conformity with the above provisions of the Convention as well as with the practice, and to report any development in this regard.

Article 10. In the absence of the Government’s response, the Committee again requests it to indicate the manner in which and the limits within which the attachment and the assignment of wages are permitted.
