Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) (Ratification: 1959)
Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) (Ratification: 1959)
Minimum Wage Fixing Machinery (Agriculture) Convention, 1951 (No. 99) (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee notes that the Government’s reports have not been received. In its previous comments, the Committee raised several matters regarding the application of these Conventions. It notes the adoption of Act No. L/2014/072/CNT of 10 January 2014, issuing the Labour Code, several sections of which, especially within Title IV of Book 2, entitled “Wages and other elements of the remuneration” relate to the application of these Conventions. For example, section 241.7 provides that all employees have the right to a guaranteed inter-occupational minimum wage (SMIG) and that the guaranteed minimum rate for an hour of work shall be determined by decree, after the Advisory Committee on Labour and Social Legislation has issued an opinion. Moreover, several other sections within the said Title contain provisions on the protection of wages. The Committee therefore proposes to examine in detail the application of Conventions Nos 26, 95 and 99 at its next session and hopes that it will have before it the Government’s detailed reports on that subject. It also requests the Government to provide information on any decree adopted under section 241.7 of the Labour Code.
