Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Chad (Ratification: 1960)

Articles 8 and 10 of the Convention. Deductions, assignments and attachments of wages. The Committee notes that sections 273–78 of the Labour Code establish a list of permitted deductions to wages. Under section 277, the authorized deductions for each payment cannot exceed the rates fixed by decree. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the regulations in force establishing, under section 277 of the Labour Code, the limits applicable to the deductions, assignments and attachments of wages authorized by the Labour Code.

Article 12 of the Convention. Regular payment of wages. Public sector. In its previous comments, the Committee encouraged the Government to pursue its efforts to eliminate the late payment of wages, particularly in the public sector. The Committee notes that the Government refers once again in its report to the difficulties arising from the failure to make timely payments of bonuses and other labour benefits owed to teachers and hospital workers. The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the affected workers receive all the elements of their remuneration on time and in full and to provide information on the results achieved in that regard.
