Convenio sobre política social (territorios no metropolitanos), 1947 (núm. 82) - Bermudas

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its 2005 observation, which read as follows:

1. Part V. Remuneration of workers. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report of April 2004. It takes note with satisfaction of the adoption of the Employment Act 2000, which came into force in March 2002 and which addresses a number of issues previously raised by the Committee, relating to protection of wages (Articles 15 and 16 of the Convention). It particularly notes with interest the definition of wages contained in section 3 of the Act as well as the provisions of sections 7 and 8 concerning itemized pay statements and unauthorized deductions.

2. Part III. Improvement of standards of living and other objectives of the social policy. The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will keep providing information dealing with the economic and social development of Bermuda, including updated data illustrating that the improvement of standards of living has been regarded as the principal objective in the planning of economic development.
