Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 4 of the Convention. In previous comments, the Committee asked the Government to indicate whether the ministerial orders referred to in section 100(4) of the Labour Code had been adopted for the purpose of regulating payments in kind, other than accommodation and food, and fixing the maximum rates of repayment. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the orders in question will be issued after the adoption of the new Labour Code. Considering that the Committee has been commenting on this point for the last 30 years, the Committee urges the Government to take the necessary measures without further delay to ensure that the national legislation fully conforms to the terms of this Article. It asks the Government to keep it informed of any progress achieved in this regard and to communicate the texts of the new Labour Code and any orders or regulations governing the partial payment of wages in kind as soon as they are adopted.
