Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Grenada (Ratification: 1979)

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:

1. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in respect of Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will take all necessary measures to ensure that payment in the form of allowances in kind is limited to industries or occupations where it is customary or desirable, and that in cases where this form of payment is authorized, such allowances are appropriate for the personal use and benefit of the worker and his or her family, and that the value of such allowances is fair and reasonable.

2. Article 7. Further to its previous comments concerning the application of this Article, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that “in a small country like Grenada, where the population is spread quite evenly, there are no areas that can be considered remote from towns or villages”. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would include in its future reports information on any change in the situation in this regard.
