Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - Lebanon (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request which read as follows:

Article 1, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Convention. The Committee notes that Decree No. 3005 of 1980 fixing minimum wages applies to all workers under the coverage of the Labour Code. Please indicate the situation as regards minimum wages for workers excluded from coverage by sections 7 and 8 of the Labour Code, in particular, domestic workers and workers in the agricultural sector.

Article 2, paragraph 2. Please indicate the number and categories of workers, if any, whose wages are fixed by collective agreements.

Article 4, paragraphs 2 and 3. The Committee notes that section 45 of the Labour Code provides for minimum wage-fixing by tripartite wage boards. Please indicate the measures taken to ensure consultation with and, where appropriate, participation of representatives of employers' and workers' organisations, when minimum wages are fixed by legislative enactments and decrees.
