Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Algeria (Ratification: 1984)

Display in: French - Spanish

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

Article 10 of the Convention. Financial resources and material means of the labour administration system. The Committee notes the indication in the Government’s report that the labour administration prepares an assessment of the funding needed to cover the operational and equipment costs of the action programme for the year in question. The draft budgets that are drawn up are then discussed with the departments of the Ministry of Finance and adopted by the Government under the budgetary legislation approved by Parliament for that financial year. The Committee asks the Government to describe the material means available to labour administration system staff for the performance of their duties.

Application in practice. The Committee once again requests the Government to send to the Office extracts of any reports or other periodic information provided by the principal labour administration services. The Government is also asked to supply information on any practical difficulties encountered in the application of the Convention.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

The Committee notes the Government’s reports received on 2 November 2009 and 3 November 2010, and the numerous legal texts attached to it.

Development of legislative machinery and the functioning in practice of the labour administration system. The Committee notes with interest the decrees sent by the Government, which were adopted during the period covered by the report, as they contain numerous provisions relating the Convention. It also notes the detailed information provided by the Government in reply to its comments concerning the application of Articles 4, 5 and 9 of the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on any further developments relating to laws or regulations or administrative matters concerning the questions covered by each provision of the Convention, and also to provide regularly, as required by Part IV of the report form, extracts from any reports or other periodic information provided by the principal labour administration services, such as foreseen by Paragraph 20 of the Recommendation concerning Labour Administration (Recommendation No. 158), which completes the Convention.

Article 7 of the Convention. Gradual extension of the functions of the system of labour administration to workers who are not employed persons. Noting the indications provided by the Government on the scope of the activities of the labour inspection services, the Committee once again invites it to review this provision, the meaning and flexibility of which are highlighted in paragraphs 128 to 137 of its 1997 General Survey on labour administration, and requests it to identify and indicate any cases in which it appears that the categories of the self-employed workers listed in Article 7 enjoy or may enjoy in the future the benefits provided by any of the competent bodies in the labour administration system.

Article 10. Material means and financial resources. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the proportion of the national budget allocated for labour administration and describe the material means and the financial resources made available to the staff for the performance of their duties.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

The Committee notes the information provided late by the Government in reply to its previous comments and the report covering the period ending in June 2004.

Development of legislative machinery concerning the organization and functioning of the labour administration. The Committee notes with interest that Executive Decrees Nos. 01-338 and 01-339 of 28 October 2001 respectively determining the duties of the Minister of Labour and Social Security and the structure of the central administration of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, give effect in law to many provisions of the Convention. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on any new development of a legislative, regulatory or administrative nature relating to the subjects covered by each of the provisions of the Convention.

Practical operation of the system of labour administration. The Committee requests the Government also to communicate on a regular basis, with a view to illustrating as much as possible the manner in which the abovementioned legal provisions are applied in practice, and as required by Part IV of the report form, extracts of any reports or other periodic information presented by the principal labour administration bodies as referred to by Paragraph 20 of Recommendation No. 158 complementing the Convention, as well as the specific information requested under the following Articles by the report form, namely:

- Article 4 of the Convention, on the measures taken to ensure that the system of labour administration works effectively and that the functions and responsibilities assigned to it are properly coordinated;

- Article 5, on the legislative or practical measures taken, if necessary, at regional, local and sectoral levels with a view to ensuring consultation, cooperation and negotiation on a tripartite basis or limited to the social partners, in the context of the system of labour administration;

- Article 6, on the manner on which effect is given in practice to each of its provisions;

- Article 9, on the means at the disposal of the competent public labour administration bodies to ensure that parastatal agencies and any regional or local agencies to which particular labour administration activities are delegated, are operating in accordance with national laws and are adhering to the objectives assigned to them; and

- Article 10, on the material means and the financial resources allocated to the staff of the labour administration system.

Gradual extension of the functions of the labour administration system to non-wage workers.
