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

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Austria (Ratification: 1951)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied in the Government's report, including the comments made by the Austrian Congress of Chambers of Labour with regard to the application of Articles 12 and 14(b) of the Convention. It notes that this organisation repeats its opinion that legislative measures should be taken to ensure the regular payment of wages and the workers' right to wage statements. It also notes the Government's indication that the discussion with the social partners regarding the Guaranteed Remuneration Bill was discontinued because there was no prospect of agreement on certain essential points. The Committee recalls that both Articles 12 and 14 of the Convention allow flexibility in their method of application. It would, however, be grateful if the Government would supply in its future reports information on any further measures taken or contemplated with regard to the application of these provisions of the Convention.
