Article 8(1) of the Convention. Deductions from wages. The Committee recalls its previous comments in which it drew the Government’s attention to section 170 of the Labour Code of 1996 and requested its amendment in order to bring it in conformity with this Article of the Convention. More concretely, in view of the fact that the Convention permits deductions from wages only under the conditions and to the extent prescribed by national laws or regulations or fixed by collective agreements or arbitral awards (but not individual labour agreements), the Committee suggested that the words “and the individual labour contract” (et les contrats) should be deleted while the expression “compulsory levies” (prélèvements obligatoires) should be defined by reference to specific provisions of the Labour Code authorizing such levies. As the Government’s report provides no new information on this point, the Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged in order to bring section 170 of the Labour Code into full conformity with Article 8(1) of the Convention.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. Noting that no information of a general nature has been supplied for many years concerning the application of the Convention in practice, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would make an effort to collect and transmit all relevant information in this regard, including, for instance, statistics on the number of workers covered by the relevant legislation, copies of collective agreements containing clauses on wage conditions, extracts from labour inspection reports showing the number of inspections carried out, contraventions observed and sanctions imposed, any difficulties experienced in the enforcement of the implementing legislation, etc.
