Convention (n° 26) sur les méthodes de fixation des salaires minima, 1928 - Grenade (Ratification: 1979)

Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Minimum wage fixing machinery. The Committee recalls its previous comments in which it noted that minimum wage rates remained unchanged since 2002 even though section 51(2) of the Employment Act, 1999, required minimum wage orders to be reviewed at least once every three years. The Committee notes the adoption of the Minimum Wage Order of 2011 which establishes new minimum wage rates – hourly, daily, weekly or monthly – for 13 categories of workers as from 1 January 2012. The Committee requests the Government to provide additional information on the categories of workers, in any, whose minimum wage has been left unrevised since 2002. The Committee also requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any steps taken to ensure that minimum wage orders issued under section 51 of the Employment Act are reviewed by the tripartite Wages Advisory Committee not less frequently than once every three years as prescribed by the national legislation.
