Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Gabon (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report, in particular the adoption of Act No. 002/2005 of February 2005 issuing the General Public Service Regulations.

Article 12 of the Convention. Payment of wages at regular intervals. The Committee understands that certain branches of activity and production units are experiencing difficulties regarding the regular payment of wages. The Committee requests the Government to provide further information on this matter and, if appropriate, to specify the sectors of the economy and the number of workers affected by this phenomenon. It also asks the Government to indicate the steps taken to remedy this situation.

Part V of the report form. Recalling that legislative conformity in itself cannot ensure that the Convention is observed in a satisfactory manner and that legislation must also be implemented effectively, the Committee asks the Government, once again, to provide general information on the application of the Convention, including, for instance, extracts from labour inspection service reports detailing the number and nature of the infringements reported and the penalties imposed, and any other particulars that would enable the Committee to assess the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice.
