Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Rwanda (Ratification: 1962)

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, under section 83 of the new Labour Code, the guaranteed minimum interoccupational wage (SMIG) is established by the Minister of Labour after consulting workers’ and employers’ organizations. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the arrangements which have been adopted for the consultation of the above organizations and, where appropriate, the trades to which the national regulations respecting the SMIG are not applicable. It also requests the Government to provide copies of laws or regulations issued under this provision of the Labour Code for the purpose of organizing such consultations.

Article 5 and Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain information on the number of workers covered by the regulations on the SMIG or on the rates at which the SMIG is fixed. It requests the Government to provide this information with its next report and, in general, to provide information on any other measures illustrating the arrangements for the operation of minimum wage fixing machinery so that it is in a better position to assess their conformity with the requirements of the Convention.
