Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government. It notes in particular the ministerial orders of 2001 adjusting the minimum wage rates applicable to household workers and industrial security guards. It also notes the statistical information indicating that in 2001, some 565 establishments in eight different trades and employing 33,756 workers were covered by the minimum wage legislation. The Committee would be grateful if the Government, in addition to continuing to provide information on the minimum wage rates in force, would provide, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention and Part V of the report form, any other information, such as extracts from the reports of the inspection services concerning compliance with minimum wage regulations and information on the activities and current composition of the Minimum Wage Advisory Commission established by the 1975 Minimum Wage Act, so that the Committee can gain a fuller appreciation of the manner in which effect is given to the Convention in both law and practice.
