Convenio sobre la terminación de la relación de trabajo, 1982 (núm. 158) - Papua Nueva Guinea (Ratificación : 2000)

The Committee notes the Government’s report received in June 2009 in reply to the 2007 observation. The Government indicates that the new Industrial Relations Act, now in its fifth draft, is before the National Tripartite Consultative Council for approval and will be referred to the National Executive Council for adoption, and will afterwards be submitted to Parliament for promulgation. The National Tripartite Consultative Council meeting was scheduled for August 2009. The Government further indicates that the provisions of the Convention will feature comprehensively in the new Industrial Relations Act and will be considered in the review of the Employment Act. The Committee hopes that in its next report, due in 2011, the Government will report on the enactment of the new Industrial Relations Act in order to ensure the full and effective application of each provision of the Convention. As soon as the new legislation is enacted, please provide a copy of its text to the ILO.
