Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Hours of Work (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1930 (No. 30) - Guatemala (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. It notes in particular the Government's indication that section 122 of the Labour Code establishes the cases in which the working day may be extended.

The Committee draws the Government's attention to the fact that it has addressed the above provision in its comments on Convention No. 1, and asks the Government to refer to them.

Furthermore, the Committee noted in 1981 the adoption of Government Decision No. 6-80 of 9 May 1980 containing regulations which it considered to be in conformity with the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee therefore asks the Government to clarify the legal situation by indicating to what extent Government Decision No. 6-80, and section 122 of the Labour Code apply to the workers covered by the Convention.
