Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Repetition

Articles 8 and 12 of the Convention. Deductions from wages and payment of wages at regular intervals. The Committee has been commenting for a certain number of years on the provision of the Labour Code permitting wage deductions on the basis of individual agreement and also on difficulties experienced in the public sector concerning the timely payment of wages. The Committee requests the Government to provide up-to-date information on both issues, in the light of the provisions of the Labour Code (Act No. 133/AN/05/5èmeL). Moreover, as regards the comments communicated by the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD) in 2007, the Committee requests the Government to refer to comments concerning the application of the Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26)

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
