Convention (n° 99) sur les méthodes de fixation des salaires minima (agriculture), 1951 - Seychelles (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes the information supplied in the Government's report in reply to its previous comments. It notes the Government's statement that there has been no change in the fixing of the minimum wages for agricultural and allied workers. Therefore, the Committee trusts that the Government will make every effort in its next report to indicate: (i) in accordance with Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention, how minimum wages for agricultural and allied workers are fixed in practice; (ii) the measures taken or envisaged to ensure the application of section 40 of the 1990 Employment Act in the agriculture sector; and (iii) any progress made in the implementation of the minimum wage in the agriculture sector and the results obtained in this respect (for example, the results of inspections carried out (including the number of violations of minimum wage provisions revealed, the penalties imposed, etc.)).

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2000.]
