Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1998, publiée 87ème session CIT (1999)

Convention (n° 26) sur les méthodes de fixation des salaires minima, 1928 - Luxembourg (Ratification: 1958)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report.

Article 1 of the Convention, read in conjunction with Article 3. The Committee notes the Government's statement to the effect that the Act of 23 December 1994 abolished the minimum social wage including family allowances, given that this type of minimum social wage is no longer needed following the introduction of a guaranteed minimum income which should take account more closely of the composition of individual workers' households.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate to what extent employers' and workers' organizations were consulted before this decision was taken.

Article 5 (read in conjunction with point V of the report form). The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the practical application of the Convention, for example: (i) the minimum wage rates in force; (ii) available data on the number and various categories of workers covered by the minimum wage regulations; and (iii) the results of any inspections carried out (for example, any violations noted, sanctions imposed, etc.).
