Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2003, Publicación: 92ª reunión CIT (2004)

Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo, 1947 (núm. 81) - Islas Salomón (Ratificación : 1985)

The Committee notes with regret 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:

The Committee notes the Government’s report for 1997 containing information in reply to its previous comments. It notes, however, that copies of neither Order LN 137/91 nor the regulations concerning cover of wages (illness and accident cover) have been supplied and requests the Government to take measures to do so.

Articles 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. The Committee notes that inspections should be carried out twice a year for every establishment but that this frequency is not achieved because of financial constraints. Only one vehicle is available for all inspectors and labour inspectors are not reimbursed for the cost of their duty travel. The Committee notes that a request for an increased budget has been made with a view to improving the practical working conditions of labour inspectors. It would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the results of this request and on the question of installing a second inspection office in the Malaita province for the same purpose.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee hopes that the annual inspection reports required under these provisions will shortly be published and communicated to the ILO in the time frame prescribed.
