Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Eswatini (Ratification: 1981)

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 comments.

Repetition

The Committee recalls the Government’s statement in the report received in September 2009 indicating that there has been no change in the legislation but that the Employment Bill will be re-tabled in Parliament. The Government was considering the proposal made by the Committee to denounce Convention No. 96 and consider ratification of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181). The Committee noted that the proposal was discussed at the Labour Advisory Board. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to communicate the Labour Advisory Board’s recommendation regarding the ratification of Convention No. 181. The Committee invites the Government and the social partners to refer to its General Survey on employment (2010) which contains an overview of Convention No. 181 and makes an assessment of this Convention’s provisions. The Committee recalls that the provisions of Convention No. 96 remain in force until the ratification of Convention No. 181 becomes effective.
