The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report, as well as the comments formulated by the Council of Trade Unions Federation of Uzbekistan on the application of the Convention. It wishes to draw its attention to the following points.

Articles 3, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Convention. The Committee notes that section 233 of the Labour Code provides that employees are entitled to maternity leave of 70 calendar days before confinement and 56 calendar days following confinement. This section also provides that the maternity leave shall be considered as a whole and accorded in its totality to the women worker irrespective of the number of days actually taken before the date of confinement. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would clarify whether, and under which provisions, the national legislation guarantees, in accordance with this provision of the Convention, a period of compulsory leave after confinement of at least six weeks during which it is prohibited to employ women who have just given birth.

Article 4, paragraph 3. Medical benefits. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would communicate additional information on the nature of care provided before, during and after confinement. Please supply a copy of the legislative provisions under which these benefits are provided.

Article 4, paragraphs 4, 6 and 7. Cash benefits. In its report, the Government states that, according to section 282 of the Labour Code, all workers are subject to state social insurance. Section 286 of the Labour Code provides that these benefits are equal to the women’s previous wage and paid throughout the entire period of leave. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide additional information on the legal provisions governing the state social insurance (coverage, calculation of maternity benefits and, where appropriate, length of service requirements) and to provide copies of any relevant texts.
