Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the Government’s succinct report in which the Government basically reaffirms that the new Employment Act, when it enters into force, will give full effect to Articles 6, 7, 8, 13 and 15(a) of the Convention. While recalling that the Government has been referring for the last ten years to the imminent adoption of new labour legislation and also recalling that draft amendments had been prepared with the assistance of the Office more than 20 years ago in order to bring the national legislation into conformity with the requirements of the Convention, the Committee urges the Government to take all the necessary steps without further delay to enact the new law and reminds the Government of the availability of further ILO technical assistance in this regard.
