Convenio sobre los métodos para la fijación de salarios mínimos (agricultura), 1951 (núm. 99) - Hungría (Ratificación : 1969)

Article 1(1) of the Convention. Minimum wage fixing machinery in agriculture. The Committee notes that, under section 153(2) of the new Labour Code, which was adopted on 13 December 2011, minimum wage rates may vary by occupational category or geographical region. It also notes that under section 153(3) of the Labour Code, minimum wage rates are determined by the Government after consultations with the National Economic and Social Council (NGTT) and taking principally into account economic indicators. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether a separate minimum wage rate is fixed for agricultural workers (or for rural areas) and, if so, how it is ensured that the most representative organizations of employers and workers of the agricultural sector take part in the minimum wage fixing process on a basis of complete equality. The Committee would also appreciate if the Government would specify whether and how social considerations, such as the basic needs of the workers and their families, are taken into account in determining or adjusting minimum wage levels for agricultural workers.
