Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Uganda (Ratification: 1963)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in response to its previous direct request.

Article 2 of the Convention (application to all workers to whom wages are paid or payable). The Committee notes from the Government's reply that no orders have been issued limiting or extending the application of all or any of the provisions of the Employment Decree.

Article 10 (attachment and assignment of wages). The Committee notes from the Government's report that an expert from the ILO on labour legislation is continuing his work with the Government on revising the labour law in the country, including provisions relating to this Article of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will take appropriate measures to bring the legislation into closer conformity with the practice and with the requirements of the Convention.

Article 13 (payment of wages on working days only and at or near the workplace where made in cash). The Committee notes that no violations of this Article have been noted. It expresses once again its hope that the Government will bring the legislation into conformity with this provision of the Convention in revising the national legislation.
