Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Bulgaria (RATIFICATION: 1925)

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, under section 150(2) of the 1992 version of the Labour Code, compensation for overtime work with extra leave is prohibited. It recalls that, in so far as overtime work on a weekly rest day may be allowed exceptionally under section 144, it should under Article 5 of the Convention be compensated, as far as possible, by a rest period. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures taken or envisaged with a view to providing, as far as possible, compensatory rest periods to the workers concerned.
