Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Türkiye (Ratification: 1946)

The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending July 2000. It has also noted the observations made by the Turkish Confederation of Employers’ Associations (TISK) and the Turkish Confederation of Trade Unions (TÜRK-IŞ).

The Committee notes that TÜRK-IŞ once again alleges inadequate monitoring of the application of the Convention because of the low number of inspections which, furthermore, do not always cover certain categories of workers such as domestic workers and illegal workers. It notes that the Government merely indicates that the inspection services take appropriate measures when a contravention is noted.

The Committee again requests the Government to supply more detailed information on the practical application of the Convention and to provide, in accordance with Part V of the report form, available extracts from the reports of the inspection services and, if such statistics are available, information on the number of employed persons covered by the relevant legislation, and the number and nature of contraventions reported.
