Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

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

The Committee notes the information supplied in the Government's report. It notes however that the report contains no reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:

Article 10 (attachment and assignment of wages). The Committee notes from the Government's previous report that an expert from the ILO on labour legislation was 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 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 noted 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.
