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 of the Convention. The Committee notes that under the Act of 1999 on the minimum wage, the method of wages adjustment and allowance for annual leave in the period from 1999 to 2001, the minimum wage rate was increased annually by 85 per cent of the growth in the prices of essential goods recorded in the preceding year and additionally increased by the established percentage growth in the gross domestic product in the same period. It also notes that, pursuant to the law on the implementation of the agreement on wage policy for the period from 2002 to 2004, wage adjustments for 2002 and 2003 are determined in part by reference to the changes in the cost of living, while as from 2004 a new method will be introduced to take account of the ratio between the exchange rate between the euro and SIT and inflation in selected EU Member States that are Slovenia’s largest foreign trade partners, and the movement in the cost of living. The Committee requests the Government to provide up to date information on the evolution of the indicators which determine the periodic adjustment of the minimum wage rate. While noting the Government’s statement that the adjustment of wages is agreed upon among the social partners prior to the enactment of relevant legislation, the Committee would appreciate receiving more detailed information on the form and manner in which the social partners are consulted in respect of fixing and revising minimum wages, including any surveys or studies which may have been undertaken by consultative tripartite bodies as regards national economic conditions.

Article 5 and Part V of the report form.The Committee requests the Government to supply all available information concerning the application of the Convention in practice, including for instance inspection reports showing the number of infringements of the minimum wage legislation observed and the sanctions imposed, the number and different categories of workers subject to relevant legislation, minimum wage rates in force, and any other particulars bearing on the operation of the minimum wage fixing machinery.
