Article 1 of the Convention. Scope of application. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report on the legislation applicable to workers covered by special laws.
Article 4. Methods of fixing and adjusting minimum wages. Participation of the social partners. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to provide information on the measures taken to adjust the levels of the guaranteed minimum interoccupational wage (SMIG), established by decree in 2006, and on the outcome of the wage negotiations held in the Joint Commission for Wage Bargaining in the Private Sector. It also requested the Government to provide further information on the respective roles of the Labour Advisory Commission and the National Commission on the SMIG in the process of fixing minimum wage rates. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that, while it is aware of the need to adjust the rates of the SMIG, no measures have yet been taken for that purpose and that, since minimum wages in the private sector were increased in 2012, it has not been possible to obtain any further increase. The Government adds that the role of the Advisory Labour Commission is to examine the proposals made by the National Commission on the SMIG. The Committee also notes that the National Commission on the SMIG, referred to in section 187 of the Labour Code, was established by decree in 2010. Section 7 of the decree provides that it shall meet at least every two years. The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure the regular operation of the National Commission on the SMIG so that minimum wage levels are assessed and, subsequently, may be adjusted. It requests the Government to provide information on any progress made in this regard.
Article 5. Effective application. Inspection. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the effect given to the legislation in practice.
