Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Cyprus (Ratification: 1966)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the adoption of Ordinance No. 247 of 1985 (amending section 4 of the Ordinance of 1961 respecting the hours of work of employees) which guarantees employees an uninterrupted weekly rest period, in accordance with Article 6 of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will complete the above-mentioned Order by a provision granting a compensatory rest period in cases where work has to be performed on the day of weekly rest, as required by Article 8, paragraph 3 of the Convention.
