Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ratification: 1969)

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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:

Article 8, paragraph 1, of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee noted that the draft of the revised Labour Code took account of the amendments formulated by the Committee concerning the conditions for and limits on deductions from wages, but that the draft had not yet been enacted. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps to enact the above draft so as to bring the national legislation into conformity with this Article of the Convention on which it has been commenting for some years.

Point V of the report form. The Committee recalls that it asked the Government to supply information on the practical application of the Convention, particularly on the results of inspection visits and the number and nature of violations recorded. The Committee hopes, therefore, that the Government will provide this information in its next report.
