Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Niger (Ratification: 1961)

Article 12, paragraph 1, of the Convention. With reference to the previous direct request, the Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that for the purpose of the next revision of the Labour Code, consultation has been made with social partners, including the employers' and workers' organisations. It also notes in this connection that a periodical meeting of the labour and social security officers enlarged to include employers' and workers' organisations, which was held in February 1991, recommended the repeal of section 206 of the Decree of 7 September 1967, which exempts all agricultural, industrial and commercial undertakings from the obligation of paying at regular intervals not exceeding 15 days the wages of workers employed on a daily or weekly basis. It hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in its further report that further progress has been made in this regard.
