Afficher en : Francais - EspagnolTout voir

The Committee welcomes the ratification of the Convention by Burkina Faso and notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. The Committee’s comparative analysis shows that the national legislation gives full effect to the Convention, subject to receiving additional information and statistics on the points raised below.
Article 3 of the Convention. Health protection. The Committee notes the provisions of the Labour Code respecting health protection measures for pregnant or breastfeeding women. As public servants and other State employees are not covered by the Labour Code, the Government is asked to indicate the legislative texts intended to protect the health of women workers in the national and territorial public service in the event of pregnancy or when they are breastfeeding.
Article 5. Additional leave in case of illness or complications. The Committee notes the provisions of the Labour Code respecting additional leave accorded in the event of duly certified illness resulting from pregnancy or confinement (section 145(3)). The Government is requested to indicate the legislative texts governing the extension of maternity leave for public employees in such cases.
Article 6. Cash maternity benefits. Temporary or occasional workers. The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 3 of the Social Security Code of 2006, the specific measures necessary for the application of the legislation to temporary or occasional workers shall be determined by order of the minister responsible for social security, after seeking the opinion of the Labour Advisory Commission. Please indicate, where appropriate, whether such legislative texts have been adopted and the scheme envisaged for these categories of workers.
