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

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (Ratification: 1998)

The Committee notes with interest the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention.

Article 5 of the Convention and Parts IV and V of the report form. While noting the statistical information provided by the Government as to the number of workers covered by the 1989 wages regulation orders, the Committee requests the Government to continue to supply all available information on the effect given to the Convention in practice, including, for instance, inspection reports indicating the number of infringements observed and sanctions imposed in matters related to statutory minimum remuneration. In addition, the Committee notes from the Government’s report that courts of law have given decisions involving questions of principle relating to the application of the Convention but that the text of those decisions is unavailable. The Committee would appreciate if the Government would make an effort to obtain and forward copies of those decisions in accordance with Part IV of the report form.
