Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - France (Ratification: 1952)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which reads as follows:

The Committee notes the observations presented by the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT), communicated by the Government with its report. First, the CFDT notes the disparity between the evaluation of benefits in kind (accommodation) fixed by the Labour Code and that established by the social security scales, which, in its submission, is causing difficulties in the presentation of pay slips in certain sectors such as hotels. Secondly, the CFDT considers that the wording of section L.143-2 of the Labour Code, which provides that wages must be paid once a month, is ambiguous since it is not clear whether the term "month" means a calendar month or a one-month period between two dates.

The Committee notes that the Government has provided no information on these observations, which the Committee discusses in a direct request.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
