Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 95) sur la protection du salaire, 1949 - Algérie (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee takes note of the Act No. 90-11 of 21 April 1990, respecting labour relations referred to in the Government's report. It notes that section 3 of the Act makes special statutory provisions regarding civil servants and some other categories of workers and that section 4 authorises special provisions to be made by regulations in respect of certain categories of workers. It would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the statutory provisions referred to in section 3 and the regulations made under section 4 concerning the specific system for certain categories of workers (Article 2 of the Convention).

The Committee also notes that the Act does not contain provisions corresponding to sections 159 and 160 and section 151(1) of the Ordinance No. 75-31 of 29 April 1975 that gave effect to Articles 6 and 7 and Article 13 of the Convention, respectively. Noting that this Ordinance is repealed in virtue of section 157 of the Act, the Committee would be glad if the Government would supply information on measures taken to prohibit employers from limiting in any manner the freedom of the workers to dispose of their wages (Article 6); to guarantee the freedom of workers to make use of works stores or services (Article 7(1)); to ensure, where access to other stores or services is not possible, that goods are sold and services are provided at fair and reasonable prices or that such stores and services are not operated for profit (Article 7(2)); and to ensure the payment of wages on working days only, at or near the workplace, and to prohibit payments in retail shops and in places of amusement except in the case of persons employed therein (Article 13).
