Legislative developments. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in reports related to other Conventions that the Ministry of Labour and Rehabilitation has prepared a new bill updating Law No. 12 of 2010 on labour relations and that this draft law has not yet been promulgated. Hoping that in the framework of the legislation reform, its comments will be considered and the requirements of the Convention will be fully met, the Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the developments in its labour law reform, including by providing a copy of any amendments to labour legislation regulating wage protection issues, once adopted.
Articles 3, 4(1), 6 and 7 of the Convention. Payment of wages in legal tender and prohibition of payment in the form of promissory notes, vouchers or coupons. Partial payment of wages in kind. Freedom of workers to dispose of wages. Work stores. Noting that the Law No. 12 of 2010 on labour relations does not contain provisions giving effect to these Articles of the Convention, the Committee requests the Government to indicate how it is ensured that: (i) wages payable in money are paid only in legal tender and that the payment of wages in the form of promissory notes, vouchers or coupons, or in any other form alleged to represent legal tender is prohibited (Article 3); (ii) in cases in which payment of wages in the form of allowances in kind is authorised, such allowances are only partially allowed and do not reach the full amount of wages (Article 4(1)); (iii) employers are prohibited from limiting in any manner the freedom of workers to dispose of their wages (Article 6); and (iv) workers are free from any coercion to make use of work stores or services and, that when they use them, the goods are sold and services are provided at fair and reasonable prices; or such stores are operated for the benefit of the workers concerned (Article 7).
