Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Haiti (Ratification: 1952)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

        Article 2 of the Convention. In earlier comments, the Committee noted that section 107 of the Decree of 24 February 1984 to renew the Labour Code, as published in Le Moniteur (No. 18-A, Monday, 5 March 1984), provided for a weekly period of rest comprising at the most 24 hours consecutive hours, whereas the Convention provides for at least 24 consecutive hours. The Committee noted the Government’s indication that it was a matter of a typographical error and that the next impression of the Code would take account of its comments. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its latest reports that it plans to amend section 107 by decree and that measures have been taken to ensure that weekly rest is observed. The Committee asks the Government to provide a copy of the text amending section 107 as soon as it has been adopted.
