Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Eswatini (Ratification: 1981)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Articles 6 and 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Public Service Bill 2009 provided with the Government’s report. The Bill introduces performance management into the public service including through the conclusion of annual performance agreements, the obligation to conduct quarterly performance assessments (section 40, paragraph 2, of the Bill) and performance pay (section 41 of the Bill). The Committee requests the Government to specify the legal consequences which will apply if an assessment performance is considered unsatisfactory in the framework of quarterly and yearly performance appraisals and the manner in which stability of employment will be ensured for labour inspectors in line with Article 6 of the Convention if the Bill is adopted. It also requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any developments concerning the adoption of the Bill.
