Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Malawi (Ratification: 1965)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report concerning the two-tier system of statutory minimum wages and conditions of employment for application in the various sectors of the economy.

The Committee also notes the Government's intention to provide information on the approximate number of workers (tradesmen) covered by the minimum wages when it has been collected and compiled. It hopes that this data will be supplied in the Government's next report, together with other information on the application of the Convention in practice, as required by Article 5 of the Convention and point V of the report form, for example: (i) the minimum wage rates in force; and (ii) the results of inspections carried out (for example, the number of violations of minimum wage provisions, the penalties imposed, etc.).
