Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Ghana (Ratification: 1973)

Part II of the Convention. Progressive abolition of fee-charging employment agencies. The Committee recalls that the provisions regarding private employment agencies contained in the Labour Act 2003, and in the Labour Regulations 2007, are not such as to give effect to the obligations contained in Part II of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that it is instituting, in consultation with the stakeholders, the ratification process of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181). The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken, in consultation with the social partners, in order to complete the ratification process of the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), which would involve the immediate denunciation of Convention No. 96.
