The tripartite domestic contract guarantees the rights of all parties. 4.8 With regard to the rights of domestic workers,10 and since the provisions of the Labor Law in the Private Sector are not applicable to domestic workers and their likes, save for a number of articles that dealt with some rights, the NIHR calls for, and emphasizes the need for, having a legislation that regulates the affairs of domestic workers and employment offices as well as their rights and obligations. 4.9 Recommendations: a. Make the necessary amendments to the provisions of Law No. (36) of 2012 issuing the Labor Law in the Private Sector so as women working in the private sector (private) are at a par with their counterparts working in the civil service (public sector) with regard to granting them child care leave to breastfeed their children. b. Call for the prompt issuance of a draft law on domestic workers (prepared in light of the proposed law submitted by the Council of Representatives), to explicitly include the rights and obligations of the relevant parties. c. Accede to the International Labor Organization Convention No. (100) of 1951 regarding the equal remuneration for work of equal value independent of whether it is performed by men or women. d. Take legal measures against employers who are proven to make arbitrary salary payments or defer the payment of wages for workers, and take preventive administrative measures to prevent such cases, including the mandatory transfer of wages into the workers' bank accounts. It is not permissible to combine the two scheduled rest hours with the other hours of care mentioned in this by-law". 9 The Fifth Annual Report of the National Institution for Human Rights for the year 2017, and the Sixth Annual Report of the National Institution for Human Rights for the year 2018, are published on the NIHR’s website: Annual Reports Section: www.nihr.org.bh 10 The NIHR referred its advisory opinions to the Council of Representatives on the draft law regarding domestic workers (prepared in light of the proposed law submitted by the Council of Representatives), and these opinions were incorporated in the fourth and fifth annual reports of the National Institution for Human Rights for the years 2016 and 2017, respectively, published on the NIHR’s website: Annual Reports Section: www.nihr.org.bh 12
