Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes from the Government's reply to its earlier comments that the draft Employment Service Regulations to which the Government has been referring since 1974 have still not been adopted. The Government indicates that the question of the adoption of the draft Regulations is being placed on the agenda of the next meeting of the Joint Consultative Committee.

The Committee is very hopeful that the new provisions will be adopted in the very near future and that the next report will contain the information previously requested on: (a) the setting up of national, and where necessary regional and local, advisory committees ensuring the participation of employers' and workers' representatives in equal numbers in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of the general policy of this service, in accordance with Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention; and (b) the determination of the functions of the employment service in accordance with Article 6.
