Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Solomon Islands (Ratification: 1985)

Article 2 of the Convention. Insertion of labour clauses in public contracts. The Committee notes that the Government’s indication that the labour law reform process launched in 2005 is still being pursued in consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee requests the Government to clarify whether the ongoing revision process involves in any manner the Labour (Fair Wages Clauses in Public Contracts) Rules, which are appended to the Labour Act (Cap. 73) and which give effect to the requirements of the Convention. It also requests the Government to keep the Office informed of further developments in this regard and to transmit any new legislative text once it has been adopted.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide up-to-date information on the application of the Convention in practice, including copies of recent public contracts containing labour clauses, statistics on the number of public contracts awarded and the average number of workers concerned, and extracts from inspection reports.
