Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Grenada (Ratification: 1979)

Article 8 of the Convention. Deductions from wages. The Committee notes that section 49(2) of the Employment Act enumerates the types of deductions that an employer is allowed to make from the remuneration due to an employee. The Committee observes that there seems to be no provisions in the national legislation which would set limits within which wage deductions can be made. Recalling that Article 8(1) of the Convention provides that deductions from wages shall be permitted only under conditions and to the extent prescribed by national laws or regulations or fixed by collective agreement or arbitration award, the Committee requests the Government to indicate how it gives full effect to this provision of the Convention.
