Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2025, publiée 114ème session CIT (2026)

Convention (n° 95) sur la protection du salaire, 1949 - Bélarus (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee takes note of the observations made by the Belarusian Congress of Democratic Trade Unions (BKDP), received on 31 August 2025. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this regard.

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.

Article 4 of the Convention. Partial payment of wages in kind. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to take measures to ensure that the payment of wages in kind could only be partial, in conformity with Article 4. The Committee notes that the Government confirms in its report that under section 74 of the Labour Code, payment of wages in the form of allowances in kind is possible in part or in full. The Committee therefore requests the Government to take the necessary measures, including by revising section 74 of the Labour Code, to ensure that the payment of wages in kind could only be partial, in conformity with Article 4.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
