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

The Committee notes the Government's report and the new Labour Code.

With reference to its previous comments on Article 8 of the Convention, the Committee notes with satisfaction that the second paragraph of section 161 of the revised Labour Code (Act No. 3/94 of 21 November 1994) requires that the consent of the worker to deductions from wages be given before the head of the nearest administrative unit, in the absence of a magistrate or labour inspector. A request on certain other matters is being addressed directly to the Government.
