Draft Employment Bill

in

It is confirmed that/the United Kingdom

that the

no

statutory offence is provided for in such cases,

but elsewhere practice differs.

Some former

colonial territories have thought it appropriate

to provide penal sanctions for non-payment of

wages (e.g. Swaziland) but a considerable number

have gone no further than to preserve the

worker's right to recover wages in the courts.

2. So far as International Labour Convention

No. 95 is concerned, model legislation which has

been agreed with the I.L.0. does not, repeat not,

provide for penal sanctions where an employer

fails to pay wages within the prescribed period.

Since Therefore the relevant International Labour

Convention does not require a penal sanction in

this type of case and practice varies as between

the one country and another, it is free to/Hong Kong

to/H

Government to make a decision in this case

related entirely to local needs and requirements.
