Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Syrian Arab Republic (Ratification: 1957)

Articles 8, paragraph 1, and 11, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee recalls its previous comments with regard to temporary workers who do not work for public bodies and who, in accordance with section 88(a) of the Labour Code, are excluded from the coverage of Book II, Chapter II, of the Code. The Committee notes that a draft Legislative Decree has been submitted to the President of the Council of Ministers in order to amend, among other provisions, section 88(a) of the Labour Code so as to extend the protection of its provisions (respecting limitations on deductions from wages under certain conditions and the protection of wages owed by the employer, his successor or assignee in cases of bankruptcy) to the above workers. The Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the Legislative Decree once it has been adopted.
