Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 100) sur l'égalité de rémunération, 1951 - République démocratique du Congo (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report (which was received too late to be examined at its previous session).

1. The Committee notes with interest the Government's statement that the draft revised Labour Code excludes the accumulation of benefits and provides that, when both spouses work, they shall receive all the benefits provided under the terms of the employment contract, and that these benefits shall be paid according to the joint choice of the interested parties, or according to any specific provisions set out in collective agreements. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on any amendment that has been made or is envisaged to section 30 of the National Inter-occupational Collective Labour Agreement (in its amended version of 22 September 1980), to bring it into line with the draft revised Code and to supply the text of the revised Code once it has been adopted.

2. The Committee notes the Government's statement that it has recommended, in the context of setting out a national employment and wages policy, the preparation of a general classification of jobs including all types of employment from manual workers to executive directors, in order to establish a hierarchy of jobs that will create a basis for a just wage structure. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on the progress achieved in the preparation of a general classification of jobs and to state whether this will apply to both the public and the private sectors.

3. The Committee once again requests the Government to supply information on the inspection visits carried out, cases of non-observance of the principle set forth in the Convention reported by labour inspectors and the measures that have been adopted to correct such situations.
