Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Guinea (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes with interest that the new Labour Code (Ordonnance no 003/PRG/SGG/88 du 28 janvier 1988) referred to in the Government's report gives effect to most of the provisions of the Convention. It would, however, be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report information on the following points:

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Code does not contain provisions directly prohibiting the employer from limiting the freedom of the workers to dispose of their wages apart from section 234(2)(a) concerning the works stores. Please supply information on the measures taken or envisaged to give effect to this provision of the Convention.

Articles 8 and 9. The Committee notes that under section 231(1) of the Code, deductions from wages may be made in respect of the reimbursement by virtue of the statutory provisions or in respect of the deposits prescribed by contracts. Please communicate information on such statutory provisions, if any, including their copy, as well as detailed information on such deposits.

Article 10. The Committee notes that under section 232 of the Code, the attachable part of remuneration is to be determined by the rules of "common law". Please supply information on the attachable part thus determined.
