Article 3(2) of the Convention. Night work for the purposes of apprenticeship or vocational training. The Committee previously reminded the Government that according to Article 3(2) of the Convention, the competent authority may, after consultation with the employers’ and workers’ organizations concerned, authorize the employment in night work of young persons who have attained the age of 16 years, for purposes of apprenticeship or vocational training in specified industries or occupations which are required to be carried on continuously. In this regard, the Committee noted that according to section 11(4) of the Employment Bill, young persons who have not attained the age of 16 years may not be employed between the hours of 6 p.m. on one day and 7 a.m. on the following day, except for the purpose of apprenticeship or vocational training approved by the Minister after consultation with the Labour Advisory Board. The Committee noted the Government’s indication that the draft Bill, which was submitted before the Parliament for approval, was referred back for further revision.

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that it requested technical assistance from the ILO, and that the services of an independent consultant were obtained to ensure that the provisions of the Employment Bill are in alignment with the Convention. The Government indicates that a copy of the Employment Act will be supplied to the Office once the legislative process is completed. Noting that the Government has been referring to the Employment Bill for several years, the Committee urges the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that it is adopted without delay, taking into consideration the comments made by the Committee, and requests the Government to provide a copy of the enacted Employment Act.
