Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Solomon Islands (Ratification: 1985)

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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 3, paragraph 2(2), of the Convention. The Committee notes that representatives of employers and workers were consulted through a round table dialogue convened and chaired by the Government before setting the Labour (Minimum Rates of Wages) Order, 1996. It requests the Government to specify to what extent employers and workers were represented in equal numbers and on equal terms in this consultation process.

Article 5, in conjunction with Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that as of 1 March 1996 the single minimum wage system applies now throughout the country. It requests the Government to continue to supply information, in accordance with these provisions of the Convention.
