The Committee notes the observations from the Association of Seychelles Employers (ASE) and the Seychelles Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), transmitted together with the Government’s report.
Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations at least once a year. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the National Consultative Committee on Employment (NCCE) was reinstalled in 2017. However, due to different changes in the Ministry responsible for labour matters, the NCCE did not meet until 17 July 2018. The Government reports that tripartite consultations were held on proposed amendments to the Employment Bill related to, inter alia, the transfer of employment mediation services, termination of employment by mutual agreement, and the Labour Migration Policy. However, no consultations were held on matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention. The Committee further notes that, in its observations, the ASE and the SCCI argue that tripartite mechanisms are inefficient and ineffective due to the lack of social dialogue in the country. The ASE and the SCCI therefore emphasizes the need to revise the manner in which the Government and the social partners works together and to extend the remit to ensure a more inclusive approach. The Committee recalls in this regard that the fundamental obligation under the Convention is to ensure effective tripartite consultations at appropriate intervals, but at least once a year, on all of the matters concerning the activities of the ILO related to international labour standards set out in Article 5(1) (2000 General Survey on tripartite consultation, paragraph 28). Noting the important concerns raised by the ASE and the SCCI as regards the ineffectiveness and inefficiency of tripartite mechanisms in the country, the Committee requests the Government to respond to these allegations and to provide with its next report detailed information on how the Convention is implemented in national law and practice. It also requests the Government to engage in consultations with the social partners with a view to exploring how the procedures required by the Convention could be improved and to provide information accordingly.
