Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

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

Articles 8(1) and 11(1) of the Convention. In its earlier observation, the Committee noted a revised draft Legislative Decree to amend certain provisions of the Labour Code, of which 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 takes note of a new letter of the Minister of Social Affairs and Employment addressed to the Minister of the Presidency's Affairs, a copy of which is attached to the Government's report, asking information again on the status of the said draft Legislative Decree.

The Committee hopes that the Legislative Decree will be adopted in the near future and requests the Government to furnish a copy once it has been adopted.
