Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Minimum Wage Fixing Machinery (Agriculture) Convention, 1951 (No. 99) - Seychelles (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes from the Government's last report, received in March 1990, that a new Employment Act was adopted in 1985 and that new Wages Regulations were adopted in 1987 following consultations with the trade unions and the Federation of Employers, in accordance with the provisions of section 46 of the above-mentioned Act. The Committee will examine these texts at its next session.

However, the Committee notes that the report contains no reply to the comments it has been making for a number of years concerning Article 5 of the Convention which provides that each Member which ratifies the Convention must communicate information on the methods and the results of the application of the minimum wage-fixing machinery and, in summary form, the occupations and approximate number of workers covered by this Convention, and the minimum rates of wages applicable. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide this information with its next report.
