Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2012, publiée 102ème session CIT (2013)

Convention (n° 95) sur la protection du salaire, 1949 - Mali (Ratification: 1960)

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:

Repetition

The Committee notes the Government’s statement that it has prepared draft provisions giving effect to Article 1 (definition of the term “wages”), Article 6 (prohibition of limiting workers’ freedom to dispose of their wages), and Article 7 (use of works stores free from coercion) of the Convention on which the Committee has been commenting since the adoption of the Labour Code of 1992. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary legislative measures shortly and that it will supply information on these points in future reports.

In addition, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the labour inspection services are insufficiently funded and therefore lack the means for discharging their responsibilities of supervision and enforcement. It also notes that there have been no complaints filed with the inspection services for violations of the legislation in respect of wage protection. The Committee hopes that the Government will not fail to collect and transmit full particulars concerning the practical application of the Convention as soon as the conditions so permit. In particular, the Committee would appreciate receiving detailed information on any difficulties experienced in the private or public sector concerning the timely payment of wages.
