Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Senegal (Ratification: 1962)

Part III of the Convention. Regulation of fee-charging employment agencies. Activities of temporary work agencies. The Committee recalls that the procedure for the adoption of the decree defining the obligations of employment agencies and the protection of workers employed by temporary work agencies, in accordance with section L226 of the Labour Code, has been the subject of a number of comments. The Committee therefore notes with interest the adoption of Decree No. 2009-1412 of December 2009 establishing special protection for workers employed by temporary work agencies and the obligations that apply to such agencies. The Committee also notes the other information provided by the Government in its report received in August 2012. The Government indicates that fee-charging employment agencies conducted with a view to profit do not exist in Senegal. Furthermore, the report refers to the Labour Service (SMO), which acts as a non-fee-charging employment agency, providing users with completely free services. The Committee requests the Government to include in its next report extracts from official reports, information on the number and nature of infringements recorded and any other information relating to the application of Decree No. 2009-1412 concerning temporary work agencies and any other matters covered by the Convention (Part V of the report form).

Revision of Convention No. 96. In reply to the observation made in 2010, the Government indicates that the ratification of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), is still under examination. The Committee requests the Government to include information in its next report on the progress made with a view to ratifying Convention No. 181.
