Convenio sobre la protección del salario, 1949 (núm. 95) - Bulgaria (Ratificación : 1955)

The Committee notes with satisfaction the repeal of Regulations No. 1 of 30 July 1991 on the conditions and procedures for the carrying out of intermediary activities in supplying information and placement. Under section 6 of the repealed Regulations, fees could be charged by the intermediary to the person seeking employment for the mediation in obtaining an employment contract - up to 25 per cent of the first monthly wage received. The issue is now regulated by a new Ordinance which came into force on 1 January 1999, section 15 of which provides that the intermediary and the employer may freely negotiate the remuneration due for the services rendered but that such remuneration cannot be deducted from the wages of the employed person.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
