Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2012, Publicación: 102ª reunión CIT (2013)

Convenio sobre las agencias retribuidas de colocación (revisado), 1949 (núm. 96) - Costa Rica (Ratificación : 1960)

Part II of the Convention. Progressive abolition of fee-charging employment agencies. In reply to the direct request of 2010, the Government indicates in a report received in September 2012 that the procedure concerning the proceedings for ratifying the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), has been shelved. The Committee refers to its previous comments in which it observed that the Government had not undertaken any inspection of fee-charging employment agencies. The Committee recalls that any State that has accepted Part II of the Convention undertakes to abolish fee-charging employment agencies conducted with a view to profit. Costa Rica ratified the Convention in 1960, without fixing a time limit for the abolition of fee-charging employment agencies. The Committee requests the Government to provide general information on the manner in which it applies Convention No. 96, including summaries of inspection reports and information on the number and nature of infringements observed. The Committee invites the Government to add information on the steps taken to make progress in the proceedings for ratifying the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2014.]
