Article 6 of the Convention. Right to weekly rest. The Committee notes the observations made by the National Forum of Trade Unions of Ukraine (NFTUU) concerning a new draft Labour Code that is expected to be examined shortly by the Parliament of Ukraine. The NFTUU refers to draft section 160 of the Code, which provides that public servants may be called on duty at any time by order of the director, and considers that this provision may deprive public servants of their right to weekly rest as no provision is made for compensatory rest. In addition, the NFTUU observes that draft section 232 of the Code provides that work performed on the day of rest may not be considered as working time in case the employee refuses to take an alternative rest day. The Committee requests the Government to provide any comments it may wish to make in response to the observations of the NFTUU and recalls that the Government may avail itself of the advisory services of the Office concerning the drafting of new legislation having due regard to relevant international labour standards.
