The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Article 5 of the Convention. Compensatory rest. The Committee notes that, under section 138(2) of the Labour Code, any worker whose weekly rest is suspended because of urgent work shall receive monetary compensation equivalent to double the compensation provided for in section 123(2) but no compensatory rest. The Committee recalls that compensatory periods of rest are essential for protecting the health and welfare of workers and that, under Article 5, they must be granted as soon as possible. The Committee also recalls that Article 8(3) of the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) – the ratification of which is strongly recommended – provides that, in the event of accident, force majeure or urgent work, the persons concerned shall be granted compensatory rest of a total duration at least equivalent to the normal rest period of 24 hours. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to review the above-mentioned section of the Labour Code in the near future, in order to provide for compensatory rest regardless of any cash remuneration that is paid.
