Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2019, Publicación: 109ª reunión CIT (2021)

Convenio sobre los métodos para la fijación de salarios mínimos, 1928 (núm. 26) - Sierra Leona (Ratificación : 1961)

The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2020, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.

Repetition

The Committee notes that in the context of the revision of the national labour legislation, the Government has requested technical assistance from the Office and, in particular that a draft Labour Act has been submitted for comments. The draft Labour Act is intended to consolidate and revise various pieces of legislation, including the Regulation of Wages and Industrial Relations Act (1971).

While noting with deep concern that the Government’s reports on the application of Conventions Nos 26 (minimum wage) and 95 (protection of wages) have not been received, the Committee hopes that progress will be made towards the adoption of the new legislation in the near future and that the Government will take full advantage of the technical assistance received from the Office so as to ensure that the new Act will be in conformity with ratified Conventions. The Committee expects that the next reports will contain full information in this respect.
