Articles 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12 of the Convention. Scope of application, partial payment of wages in kind, wage deductions, attachment and assignment of wages, and payment of wages at regular intervals. The Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention for the last ten years to certain inconsistencies of the Protection of Wages Act (Chapter 89:07) and has been suggesting that appropriate steps be taken to give full effect to the requirements of Articles 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12 of the Convention. In its last report, the Government states that regrettably there has been no change to national legislation but adds that the amendment of the labour legislation has been included in its Decent Work Agenda with a view to bringing national law in full compliance with the provisions of the Convention. The Government also indicates that the possibility of receiving technical assistance from the Office has been discussed with the ILO Caribbean Regional Office and that a local professional has been identified to help with legal drafting. The Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures in the very near future in order to give full effect to the above-referenced provisions of the Convention.
Part V of the report form. Application in practice. Noting that to date, the Government has not provided any general information on the application of the Convention in practice, the Committee requests the Government to transmit together with its next report all relevant information, including, for instance, statistics on the number of workers covered by the relevant legislation, copies of applicable collective agreements containing clauses on wage conditions, extracts from labour inspection reports showing the number of inspections carried out, any contraventions observed and sanctions imposed, as well as any difficulties experienced in the enforcement of the Protection of Wages Act.
