Article 4 of the Convention. Noting that the new Labour Code does not contain provisions on partial payment of wages in kind, except for section 260 concerning domestic workers, the Committee asks the Government to indicate whether in practice employers provide the workers with allowances in kind such as food and accommodation, and if so what measures have been taken to regulate the issue.

Article 7. Noting that the Code does not provide for works stores, the Committee asks the Government to indicate whether they exist in practice.

Article 8. The Committee notes that sections 196(3) and 201 of the Code prescribes the conditions for deductions from wages but that the extent of the deduction is set forth only in relation to repayment of credits granted by banks (section 201, item (4)). It draws the Government's attention to the requirement of the Convention that the extent to which deductions from wages may be made should be prescribed regarding all the permitted cases of deductions. Please indicate measures taken or envisaged to give effect to this provision of the Convention, and also provide information on the laws that permit deductions from wages by virtue of section 201, item (4).

Articles 14(b) and 15(d). The Committee is raising the question of workers' information in its observation in relation to the wage payment in sugar plantations. It also requests the Government to indicate, for all the workers in general, measures taken to ensure that they are informed of variable particulars of wages at each payment, and that records of wage payment are maintained.
