Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Bahamas (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes the Government's reply to its previous direct request, indicating that no regulations have been made under section 36(c) of the Fair Labour Standards Act. The Committee recalls that under Article 7 of the Convention each employer, director, or manager, should be obliged, (a) where weekly rest is given to the whole of the staff collectively, to give certain notice of such weekly rest periods in an approved manner; and (b) where the rest period is not granted to the whole of the staff collectively, to make known, by means of a roster drawn up in accordance with the method approved by the legislation of the country, or by a regulation of the competent authority, the workers or employees subject to a special system of rest and to indicate that system. Since the Act does not deal with this question, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would show how effect is given to the Convention in this respect.
