Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention. In the comments which it has been making for many years, the Committee has pointed out the need to extend the scope of the Convention to certain categories of workers not covered by the Labour Law (Private Sector) of 1964 (that is, workers in enterprises operating without recourse to power and employing less than five persons, and casual and temporary workers engaged for periods of less than six months). It noted that the Bill to amend Law No. 38 of 1964, which is currently in force, is intended to include the categories of workers which are excluded from the above Law. The Committee notes from the Government's report that the Government will supply a copy of the Labour Code for the private sector as soon as it is adopted. The Committee hopes that the necessary changes will be made to the Labour Code for the private sector to give effect to the provisions of the Convention.
