The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:
Repetition
Article 3 of the Convention. Adjustment of minimum wages. The Committee notes that on 1 January 2006 the SMIG was 775.15 CFP francs (or around 6.50 euros) an hour. It further notes the Government’s indication that it has embarked upon a specific policy to increase the minimum wage accompanied by measures to prevent inflation in the context of a programme entitled Te Autaeaeraa (solidarity), and that the SMIG was due to be raised once again in January 2007 and again in January 2008. The Committee requests the Government to provide all the additional information available on the implementation of the Te Autaeaeraa programme.
Part V of the report form. The Committee notes the Government’s indications that the supervision carried out following the latest increase in the SMIG showed that it had been applied correctly by all enterprises. It also notes that over one third of all employed persons covered by the Social Insurance Fund are paid either at the rate of the SMIG or at a slightly higher rate. It requests the Government to continue providing a general appreciation on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice including, for instance, extracts from the reports of the inspection services following supervision of the compliance of the minimum wage legislation. The Committee also notes the indications provided by the Government in its report according to which any observations made by the representative organizations of employers and workers will be forwarded in the near future, accompanied by the summary of the tripartite meeting during which the report is presented. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the summary of this tripartite meeting, as well as any observations made by employers’ and workers’ organizations on this subject.
