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

Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 1) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1934)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report contains no information.

Further to the comments it has been making for many years, the Committee recalls that any amendments to the legislation should determine, after consultation with the employers' and workers' organizations, the circumstances in which additional hours may be worked and the maximum number of additional hours authorized, in conformity with Article 6, paragraphs 1(b) and 2, of this Convention, and Article 7, paragraphs 2(c), 2(d) and 3, and Article 8 of the Hours of Work (Commerce and Offices) Convention (No. 30), 1930.

It also asks the Government to provide information in its next report on the manner in which the Convention is applied providing, for example, as required by point VI of the report form, extracts from reports of the inspection services and particulars of the number of additional hours worked in the cases provided for in the Convention, together with any other useful information.

It asks the Government to keep it informed of any developments in this respect.
