Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Chad (Ratification: 1960)

Articles 8 and 10 of the Convention. Deductions, assignments and attachments of wages. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that, according to the Government’s report, no regulations have been adopted pursuant to section 277 of the Labour Code, in order to fix the portions of wages subject to progressive deductions and the related rates. The Committee recalls in this regard that, according to Article 8(1) of the Convention, deductions from wages shall be permitted only under conditions and to the extent prescribed by national laws or regulations or fixed by collective agreement or arbitration award. Furthermore, according to Article 10(1) of the Convention, wages may be attached or assigned only in a manner and within limits prescribed by national laws or regulations. The Committee therefore requests the Government to take the necessary steps to establish, by national laws or regulations, by collective agreement or by arbitration award, the conditions and limits in which deductions from wages may be authorized. It also requests the Government to take the necessary legislative measures to establish the conditions and limits regulating attachments or assignments of wages.

Article 12. Regular payment of wages. Public sector. Further to its previous comments concerning the late payment of wages in the public sector, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that arrangements have been made to ensure that the workers affected receive their remuneration. The Committee requests the Government to continue its efforts to ensure the regular payment of wages in all sectors, in accordance with Article 12 of the Convention. The Committee also requests the Government to specify the measures taken in this regard and to supply further information on their implementation and their results.
