Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2015, publiée 105ème session CIT (2016)

Convention (n° 30) sur la durée du travail (commerce et bureaux), 1930 - Haïti (Ratification: 1952)

The Committee notes the observations of the Confederation of Public and Private Sector Workers (CTSP), received on 31 August 2015. The CTSP indicates, inter alia, that in practice, the legislation on hours of work and weekly rest, contained in sections 95 et seq. of the Labour Code, is often not observed and that there is no labour inspectorate to impede the irregularities reported. The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It further notes that the strengthening of institutions and the labour administration is an important aspect of the Labour Code reform that resumed in 2011 and is still underway. Pending the conclusion of this reform and its implementation, the Committee requests the Government to take measures to ensure that the legal provisions on hours of work and weekly rest are applied in practice. It requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken in this regard, particularly the penalties imposed under section 133 of the Labour Code establishing a fine for non-observance.
