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

Convention (n° 30) sur la durée du travail (commerce et bureaux), 1930 - Guinée équatoriale (Ratification: 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:

Article 1 of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee notes that, under section 3 of the Labour Act (No. 2/1990), the Labour Act applies to all undertakings, enterprises or establishments in the country. However, according to section 4, the work of public officials is excluded from its scope and is subject to special regulations. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the regulations on hours of work that apply to these officials. Furthermore, under section 48(4) of the Labour Act, the daily and weekly limits on hours of work do not apply, among others, to persons performing duties which, by their nature, do not involve fixed working days. The Committee requests the Government to provide more specific information on the categories of workers so excluded.

Article 5. General interruption of work. The Committee notes from the information supplied by the Government in its last report that collective work stoppages for the reasons set out in Article 5 of the Convention are not frequent and that, consequently, there are no specific regulations on this subject. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether, in practice, the hours lost in such circumstances may be made up and, if so, under what conditions.
