Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - Cameroon (RATIFICATION: 1973)

Articles 2 and 4 of the Convention. Binding nature of minimum wages. Adjustment of minimum wages and participation of the social partners. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that no new legislative measure has been taken over the reporting period, and notes that the last adjustment of the guaranteed minimum inter-occupational wage (SMIG) was carried out in 2014. Given that the frequency of revision of these rates is not prescribed by national legislation, the Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures taken or envisaged with a view to evaluating the need for a readjustment of the SMIG rate in the near future. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the consultations to be held with the social partners in this context, including those in the National Labour Advisory Commission. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on any new collective agreements that have been signed, indicating whether they conform with provisions relating to the SMIG.
