The Committee notes the Government’s report, as well as the observations submitted on 28 September 2014 by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) concerning the seriousness of the wage arrears situation in the country.

Article 12 of the Convention. Payment of wages at regular intervals. The wage arrears situation. The Committee notes the Government’s information contained in its latest report on the measures it has adopted to address the wage arrears crisis, including a general improvement in the business environment, a social protection scheme, and an agreement signed in 2014 within the national tripartite committee, which provides that workers’ and employers’ confederations communicate to the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour and Social Welfare information on cases of alleged violations of labour law affecting their members. The Government also indicates that an inquiry carried out by the Association of Iran Textile Industries (AITI) about wage arrears revealed only a few cases of unpaid wages in the national textile industry, and that they were being settled by the AITI and the local governors’ offices. The Government also indicates that in order to identify industries and enterprises incurring wage arrears, technical software has been designed and provided to the provinces’ directorates on cooperatives, labour and social welfare. While taking note of these developments, the Committee continues to encourage the Government to take all appropriate measures to improve data collection so that the situation of wage arrears can be kept under close supervision and constant assessment. It also requests the Government to provide its comments in reply to the recent observations formulated by the ITUC on the wage arrears situation in the country. In addition, the Committee notes that the Government has mentioned, in its report, its wish to avail itself of ILO technical assistance, and trusts that the Office will follow up on this request.
