Article 15: The Right of access to employment and to an equitable salary
Every individual shall have the right to work under equitable and satisfactory conditions and shall receive
equal pay for equal work.
Burundi has ratified the Convention on equal remuneration, 1951 (n°100) and the Convention on
paid leave revised in 1970 (n°132) and the Convention on the fixation of the minimum wage, 1970
(n°131).
The right to enjoy fair and favourable conditions of work is recognized and guaranteed by several
international, regional and national Legal Instruments. Thus this right which guarantees the wellbeing of the worker makes it possible for him to be guaranteed a life in dignity.
According to the Decree-Law n°1/067 of 7 July 1993 which reviewed the Burundi Labour Code the
salaries or remuneration are considered as follows:
-
The basic salary
-
Pay in lieu of notice
-
Paid leave allowances
-
Longevity allowances
-
The various payments linked directly to the worker’s benefits.
