Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Iraq (Ratification: 1960)

Article 5 of the Convention. Total or partial exceptions. Compensatory rest. The Committee requests the Government to refer to its comments made under the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106).

Article 7. Notices and rosters. The Committee recalls its previous comment in which it noted that neither the Labour Code of 1987 nor the new draft Labour Code provide for the obligation of the employer to make known – by means of notices posted conspicuously in the enterprise or rosters drawn up in accordance with the method approved by the legislation – the days and hours of rest applicable to the employees of the enterprise. In its last report, the Government merely indicates that sample copies of such notices will be transmitted at a later stage. Noting that the draft Labour Code is now before the Parliament for final discussion and adoption, the Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps to ensure that full effect is given to this requirement of the Convention.
