Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Poland (Ratification: 1991)

Article 16. Acceptance of obligations. The Committee notes with interest the information provided by the Government on the compilation on a monthly, quarterly and annually basis of the current statistics on average monthly earnings as well as on average hours actually worked and hours paid in spite of the non acceptance of Article 9(1). The Committee draws the attention of the Government to Resolution I[1] concerning the measurement of working time adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics. The Committee notes, however, that there is no evidence that statistics of time wage rates and normal hours of work are compiled as provided in Article 9(2). The Committee requests the Government once again to indicate whether measures have been taken or are envisaged to extrapolate the statistics of time rates of wages and normal hours of work referred to in Article 9(2) of the Convention from the survey on wages structure and the survey on labour costs. The Committee also invites the Government to continue to provide information on the measures taken to compile statistics on wage structure and distribution and wage cost, stating their effect with regard to the possibility of accepting the relevant obligations provided for in Articles 10 and 11 of the Convention.
