Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Eswatini (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with interest that new legislation is under consideration to replace the Employment Act No. 5 of 1980 and that domestic employees might not be excluded from its coverage. It also notes, however, that no information has been provided by the Government in response to its previous direct request, and therefore once again asks the Government to specify whether any Ministerial Orders excluding certain categories of employees from Part VI of the Employment Act have ever been issued under section 63, and if so, to supply a copy of such Orders. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in its next report the progress made in the elaboration of the new Employment Act, and to transmit the text as soon as it is adopted.
