Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes with regret 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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee recalls that, in its previous comments, it stressed the need for the Government to take without further delay the necessary measures to ensure that the national legislation was fully consistent with the terms of this article of the Convention. It notes that, in its report, the Government indicates that as the necessary conditions for the draft new Labour Code to be adopted now exist, the ministerial orders provided for in section 100(4) of the Code to determine arrangements for the provision of allowances in kind other than accommodation and food and to set minimum rates for the repayment of supplies, will be drafted soon. The Committee recalls that it has been raising these matters for very many years, and trusts that the Government will adopt provisions at the earliest possible date to bring the national legislation fully into line with this provision of the Convention. It also asks the Government to send to the Office with its next report a copy of the Labour Code, once it has been adopted, and the abovementioned ministerial orders.
