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

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. The Committee notes the information supplied in the Government's latest report. In its previous comments, the Committee drew the Government's attention to section 11 of Order No. 1545 of 23 December 1953 which appeared to authorize the suspension of weekly rest without providing for compensatory rest in certain cases. It notes, in particular, that section 11 provides compensatory rest for workers in a second enterprise involved in the repair work necessary for the first enterprise and for workers in the first enterprise who are normally engaged in maintenance or repair work. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether persons employed in the establishments set forth in Article 2 of the Convention are, in practice, subject to the exception to weekly rest provided for under section 11 of Order No. 1545 and, if so, to indicate the manner in which compensatory rest is ensured for these persons.
