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

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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government concerning the activities of the labour inspectorate for the enforcement of the minimum wage. It notes however that the three annexes mentioned in the report have not been received. It would be grateful if the Government would communicate them to the ILO.

The Committee also notes the Government's reference to modifications to the Labour Code brought about by Act No. 133 of 21 November 1991, including the new provision added to section 603 concerning the claim of wages and salaries due, and the new provision of section 605 linking the amount of fines with the minimum wage rate.

The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the labour inspection activities related to the application of the minimum wage, and to supply extracts of reports and statistical information as much as possible.
