Article 9(3) of the Convention. Employers’ registers. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 209 of the Labour Code requires every employer to keep, at the place of work, an up-to-date register or any other document established in accordance with appropriate and modern procedures for the purpose of recording all such information as shall enable the competent labour services to carry out supervision. The same provision establishes that an order issued on the proposal of the Minister of Labour shall establish the content of the register or document and the conditions in which it must be kept available for the labour inspection services. The Committee reminded the Government that, according to Article 9(3) of the Convention, the registers that must be kept by the employer shall contain the names and ages or dates of birth, duly certified, wherever possible, of persons whom he employs, or who work for him, and who are less than 18 years of age.
The Committee notes the Government’s indication, in its report, that it is planning to submit to the National Council for Labour, Employment and Social Security (CONTESS) a draft order prescribing the contents of employers’ registers pursuant to section 209 of the Labour Code. The Committee requests that the Government provide information on all progress made regarding the adoption of the order and to ensure that registers to be kept by the employer contain at least the names and ages or dates of birth, duly certified wherever possible, of persons whom he employs, or who work for him, and who are under 18 years of age.
