Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2017, Publicación: 107ª reunión CIT (2018)

Sierra Leona

Convenio sobre los métodos para la fijación de salarios mínimos, 1928 (núm. 26) (Ratificación : 1961)
Convenio sobre la protección del salario, 1949 (núm. 95) (Ratificación : 1961)

The Committee notes that in the context of the revision of the national labour legislation, the Government has requested technical assistance from the Office and, in particular that a draft Labour Act has been submitted for comments. The draft Labour Act is intended to consolidate and revise various pieces of legislation, including the Regulation of Wages and Industrial Relations Act (1971).

While noting with deep concern that the Government’s reports on the application of Conventions Nos 26 (minimum wage) and 95 (protection of wages) have not been received, the Committee hopes that progress will be made towards the adoption of the new legislation in the near future and that the Government will take full advantage of the technical assistance received from the Office so as to ensure that the new Act will be in conformity with ratified Conventions. The Committee expects that the next reports will contain full information in this respect.
