Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - Cameroon (Ratification: 1973)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received, notwithstanding that the Government was asked to report in detail in 1996. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following points raised in its previous direct request:

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on any minimum wages that have been fixed or adjusted under either section 55 or section 62(1) of the Labour Code.

Article 5. The Committee noted the indication in the Government's earlier report that the labour inspectorate had made no observations. It asks the Government to indicate whether any infringements of the minimum wage provisions in force were recorded by the inspectorate during the period covered by the report. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on the labour inspectorate's activities in applying minimum wage provisions including, for example, extracts of labour inspection reports (point V of the report form).
