Article 2(1) of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Labour Code No. 5 of 1995 does not apply to occasional workers except for the provisions on their rights to compensation for occupational accidents. It also notes in this connection that the Government has the intention to address weekly rest and other legal entitlements of these workers through the adoption of ministerial decisions regulating these matters, and through the promotion of conclusion of labour contracts which would guarantee their fundamental entitlements. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on any progress made on this matter.

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that workers employed in industrial undertakings are entitled to all their legal entitlements provided for under the Labour Code. The Committee requests the Government to clarify whether this rule also applies to foreign nationals seconded to Yemen or who work in Yemen under an international agreement, as section 3 of the Labour Code seems to exclude them.

Article 3. Exceptions – Employees who are members of the same family. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Labour Code, as provided in section 3, is indeed not applicable to members of the employer’s family regardless of their degree of kinship, but that the situation may be resolved through a special regulation or a revision of the Labour Code with a view to including these workers in its scope of application. The Committee requests the Government to consider taking such a measure in order to bring the national legislation in line with the Convention in this regard.
