Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1960)

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee recalls that, in its previous comments, it stressed the need for the Government to take without further delay the necessary measures to ensure that the national legislation was fully consistent with the terms of this article of the Convention. It notes that, in its report, the Government indicates that as the necessary conditions for the draft new Labour Code to be adopted now exist, the ministerial orders provided for in section 100(4) of the Code to determine arrangements for the provision of allowances in kind other than accommodation and food and to set minimum rates for the repayment of supplies, will be drafted soon. The Committee recalls that it has been raising these matters for very many years, and trusts that the Government will adopt provisions at the earliest possible date to bring the national legislation fully into line with this provision of the Convention. It also asks the Government to send to the Office with its next report a copy of the Labour Code, once it has been adopted, and the abovementioned ministerial orders.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2003.]
