Blurb (brief description): Recommendation concerning Private Employment Agencies
Abstract: Private Employment Agencies Recommendation, 1997 (No. 188) supplements the Private Employment Agencies Convention 181 of 1997 and sets out provisions designed to serve as guidelines for national policy.
The Recommendation contains more detailed provisions for the protection of workers in areas already mentioned in the Convention.
The Recommendation calls on member States to adopt all necessary measures to prevent and eliminate unethical practices by private employment agencies and to combat unfair and discriminatory advertising practices.
It provides for the use of a written contract specifying the workers' terms of employment, or at least informing workers, including migrant workers, of the conditions of employment before they begin work.
The Recommendation provides that private employment agencies should not make workers available to a user enterprise in replacement of the enterprise's striking employees, and should not knowingly recruit or place workers for jobs involving unacceptable hazards, or abuse or discriminatory treatment of any kind.
Finally, the Recommendation provides that member States should encourage private employment agencies to promote equality in employment through affirmative action programmes, as well as to advance cooperation between the public employment service and private employment agencies with respect to the implementation of a national policy on organizing the labour market.
