Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

Convenio sobre la protección del salario, 1949 (núm. 95) - Libia (Ratificación : 1962)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following point:

The Committee noted the discussion which took place at the Conference Committee in June 1996 on the final settlement of wages due to Palestinian workers who had recently left the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. The Government confirmed at the Conference Committee that it was ready to take all the necessary measures to settle the entitlements of any worker who could prove the existence of outstanding entitlements. Recalling that the Convention applies to all persons to whom wages are paid or payable, irrespective of the characteristics of their contracts, formal or non-formal, it requests the Government to provide information on all measures taken to ensure the final settlement of wages at the expiry of a contract, in accordance with Article 12(2) of the Convention, for the Palestinian workers other than those with employment permits and formal contracts.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
