Display in: French - SpanishView all

Article 1(c) of the Convention. Disciplinary measures applicable to public servants. Since 1998, the Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention to section 83 of the Organic Act respecting the public service (SPG 1989, No. GT 37), under which public servants who are negligent in the exercise of their duty are liable to disciplinary sanctions, which include the obligation to perform up to six hours’ extra service without pay or for less than the normal wage. The Committee noted the Government’s indication that it would keep the ILO informed of action taken to bring section 83 into conformity with the Convention.
The Committee notes once again the Government’s repeated indication that the situation regarding this matter remains unchanged. The Committee expresses the firm hope that the Government will take the necessary measures to bring its legislation into conformity with the Convention. In the meantime, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the application of section 83 of the Organic Act of 1989.
