Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Working Conditions (Hotels and Restaurants) Convention, 1991 (No. 172) - Guyana (Ratification: 1996)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Articles 3(1), 4(4), 6(2) and 8 of the Convention. Working conditions in hotels and restaurants. The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains very limited information in response to the specific points raised in previous comments. In the interest of maintaining a meaningful dialogue with the supervisory bodies of the Organization, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide up-to-date and detailed information on the manner in which effect is given in law and in practice to the following requirements of the Convention: adoption and implementation of a national policy designed to improve the working conditions of those employed in the hotel, restaurant and catering industry (Article 3); measures to ensure that the workers concerned have sufficient advance notice of working schedules applicable to them (Article 4); specific measures, legislative or others, to prevent fixed remuneration from being replaced by voluntary gratuities or tipping (Article 6); implementation of the Convention through collective agreements (Article 8).
