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

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Mauritius (Ratification: 1969)

Further to its previous requests, the Committee notes that the provisions of section 13(2) and (3) of the Labour Act 1975, to which the Government refers again, relate to the regulation of deduction from wages. It recalls that, concerning the attachment of wages for alimony, the Government has earlier supplied the text of a judicial decision which sets a limit on the amount of such attachment. The Committee notes the Government's indication that there are no judicial decisions concerning the attachment of wages in other cases than alimony and the assignment of wages. It requests the Government to state what measures have been taken or envisaged to protect wages from attachment or assignment so as to ensure the maintenance of the worker and his family in accordance with Article 10 of the Convention.
