Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1996, publiée 85ème session CIT (1997)

The Committee notes the adoption of the Labour Law (1991). It notes in particular that section 81 states that a woman shall be entitled to 45 days of leave before and 56 days after giving birth but does not specify that postnatal confinement is mandatory. The Committee would appreciate receiving further information on what provisions exist or are envisaged to ensure the mandatory nature of the postnatal leave, in conformity with Article 3(2) and (3) of the Convention.

The Committee also notes that the Government mentions in its report the Act on Medical Insurance (1993) and the Act on Pensions (1991) and states that, due to the transition to a market economy, a draft package of social insurance laws has been prepared. The Committee would appreciate receiving with the next report a copy of the above-mentioned laws and any others enacted, to fully evaluate the application of the Convention.
