Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Minimum Wage Fixing Machinery (Agriculture) Convention, 1951 (No. 99) - Seychelles (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. 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 matters raised in its previous direct request:

The Government indicated that the wage-fixing machinery for agricultural workers established in section 40(1) and (2) of the 1990 Employment Act has not been used. The Committee asks the Government to indicate, in accordance with Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention, how the fixing of minimum wages for agricultural and allied workers is guaranteed in practice. Please indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure the application of section 40 of the 1990 Employment Act in the agriculture sector. The Committee hopes that the Government will shortly be able to provide information on progress made in implementation of the minimum wage-fixing machinery and the results obtained. It also asks the Government to continue to provide information on the occupations and approximate numbers of workers covered by the Convention and the applicable minimum wage rates.
