Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Trinidad and Tobago (Ratification: 1963)

In its report received in September 2011, the Government indicates that, in 2010, the repeal of the Workmen’s Compensation Act (WCA) was identified as one of the priorities of the Labour Legislative Reform Project for the fiscal year 2010–11 and that the Ministry of Labour and Small and Micro Enterprise Development initiated a consultation process with stakeholders concerned. By the end of 2011, the Ministry was to convene consultations with the medical practitioners and the social partners with a view to developing a draft policy paper on employment injury benefits. The Committee asks the Government to supply with its next report information on the progress made in this respect and to indicate how the principle of equal treatment between national and foreign workers is implemented in the new legislative framework.
