Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Solomon Islands (Ratification: 1985)

Display in: French - Spanish

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2016, published 106th ILC session (2017)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 1(2) of the Convention. Equality of treatment without any conditions as to residence. Section 9(5) of the Workmen’s Compensation Act (Cap. 78) establishes the requirement to notify the employer whenever a worker in receipt of periodical payments intends to change his or her place of residence with a view to the possibility of agreeing with the employer to convert his or her right to periodical payments into a lump sum. Noting that the above Act does not differentiate between national and foreign workers in matters related to employment injury, the Committee requests the Government to explain how this provision has been applied in practice in the case of foreign workers who are victims of employment injury, or their dependents, who left the Solomon Islands for their countries of origin.
