Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Pakistan (Ratification: 1953)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

Articles 12, 13, 14 and 15, of the Convention. Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes that, with a view to giving effect to the provisions of these Articles of the Convention, the amendments to the Factories Act, 1934, the Shops and Establishments Ordinance, 1969, the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, and the Road Transport Workers Ordinance, 1961, are under active consideration by the Government. The Committee trusts that the legislation in question will be adopted in the near future, and that the Government will indicate the progress achieved in the next report.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that the consolidated annual report on the working of labour laws for 1987, which was received in December 1991, does not include information on the staff of the labour inspection service (Article 21(b)). It hopes that, in future, inspection reports will be published and transmitted to the ILO within the time-limits set in Article 20 and that they will contain all the information provided for in Article 21.
