Hours of Work (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1930 (No. 30) - Equatorial Guinea (Ratification: 1985)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 7 of the Convention. In reply to comments that the Committee has been making since 1994, the Government indicates that the regulations to implement section 49 of Act No. 2/1990 are still being examined with the parties concerned, particularly in the oil sector. It requests the Government to report on progress in this process. The Government is also asked to provide information on the employers’ and workers’ organizations consulted in the preparation of these regulations. Pending the latter’s adoption, the Committee urges the Government to provide information on the way in which the provisions of section 49 of Act No. 2/1990 on overtime are applied in practice.

Part V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the practical application of the Convention, including extracts of reports by the inspection services and, to the extent possible, statistical data on the number and nature of the breaches of the rules on hours of work that have been reported.

Furthermore, the Committee raises other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
