Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181) - Spain (Ratification: 1999)

The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2009, in which it is indicated that Act No. 43/2006 of 29 December to improve employment and growth has reinforced the conditions in which temporary employment agencies may not conclude labour supply contracts. The Government also provides details of the number of temporary work agencies and the different contracts used, and on the inspections undertaken in connection with private placement and selection agencies. The Government states that temporary employment agencies are a well established branch of economic activity in the services sector. The Committee would appreciate continuing to receive information on the exceptions authorized for temporary employment agencies and asks the Government to continue to send up to date information on any complaints, alleged abuses or fraudulent practices which may have been occasioned by the exceptions authorized under Article 7(2) of the Convention. Please also include in the next report statistics and data on the number of workers covered by the measures giving effect to the Convention (Part V of the report form).
