Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Egypt (Ratification: 1960)

Article 4, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee has been requesting the Government to take measures necessary to ensure (i) that allowances in kind should be appropriate for the personal use and benefit of the worker and his family and (ii) that the value attributed to such allowances should be fair and reasonable. It notes the Government's indication that it is in the process of preparing a Consolidated Labour Code. The Committee can only reiterate its hope that necessary action will soon be taken to ensure the compliance with the Convention on this point, on which it has been commenting for a number of years.
