Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (Ratification: 1973)

The Committee takes note of the Government's last report and notes the information according to which the Government is considering amending section 31 of Regulating Decree No. 244 of 1943. In this regard, the Committee wishes to draw the Government's attention to the fact that since 1976 it has been commenting on the need to bring national legislation into conformity with the provisions of Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention, which provides for compensatory rest of a total duration at least equivalent to the period provided for under Article 6, irrespective of any financial compensation paid, where temporary exemptions to the weekly rest provisions are made. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures in the very near future.
