Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - Slovenia (Ratification: 1992)

The Committee notes the Government's report, as well as the attached Act of 26 December 1990, on guaranteed minimum wages.

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's reference to section 4 of the Act providing for "a general minimum wage applying to all workers in the country". It notes that the scope of the guaranteed minimum wage is not clearly specified in the provisions of the Act. The Committee requests the Government to supply further information on the scope of the minimum wage, including the possibilities of exceptions, for example, under section 7 providing for the Government's power to fix wages.

Article 4. Noting the Government's indication of the present minimum wage rate, the Committee asks the Government to provide information on the specific decree which fixed this rate. It also requests the Government to indicate how equality between employers and workers regarding their participation in the minimum wage-fixing machinery is ensured.

Article 5 and point V of the report form. The Committee would be grateful to the Government for communicating information on the application of minimum wages in practice, including, for example, the number of infringements observed by labour inspectors, and the cases of sanctions imposed.
