Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Termination of Employment Convention, 1982 (No. 158) - Namibia (Ratification: 1996)

The Committee notes the Government’s brief report received in November 2006 that refers to the promulgation of the Labour Act (No. 15 of 2004). It understands that Act No. 15 of 2004 has not been enforced in practice and a new Labour Act has been adopted in 2007 but has not yet been enacted. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the importance of providing detailed and relevant information on the application of the provisions of the Convention, particularly when adopting a new legislation concerning matters covered by the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide up to date and detailed information on the manner in which effect is given in national law and practice to each of the provisions of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2008.]
