Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

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

Articles 8(1) and 11(1) of the Convention. Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes the Government's indication in the report that a revised draft Legislative Decree has been submitted anew to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers to amend certain provisions of the Labour Code. The Committee notes from the attached text of the revised draft that section 88(a) as amended would extend the wage protection under certain provisions (respecting limitations on deductions from wages and the protection of wages in cases of employer's bankruptcy) to temporary workers who are excluded from the coverage of the rest of the provisions of Book II, Chapter II of the Code.

The Committee hopes that the Legislative Decree will soon be adopted and requests the Government to supply its copy once it has been adopted.
