Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. Part III of the Convention. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates in its report, received in August 2004, that to date no enterprises have filed complaints against rates charged by fee-charging employment agencies, and that the latter may be penalised for practices that are contrary to the law. The Government indicates that prospective employers do their research before calling on the services of an agency and that guidance can be sought from the Employment Agencies section of the Department of Industrial and Employment Relations. The Committee again refers to Articles 10(c) and 11(b) of the Convention and requests the Government to describe the manner in which fee-charging employment agencies only charge fees and expenses on a scale submitted to and approved by the competent authority or fixed by the latter, in accordance with the abovementioned Articles of the Convention.

2. The Committee again requests the Government to provide any relevant information on the application of the Convention in practice, as requested under Part V of the report form.
