Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

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

Article 7 of the Convention. Notices and rosters. The Committee recalls its previous comments in which it requested the Government to indicate how effect is given to the requirement for notices to be posted conspicuously in the establishment, or rosters to be drawn in a manner approved by the competent authority, with a view to informing the workers of the days and hours of collective rest applicable to them. The Committee notes that section 101(1) of the draft new Labour Code, as it read in the text transmitted to the Office in July 2010, now contains a relevant provision and requires the employer to post in an apparent location at the workplace the internal regulations of the enterprise specifying the working hours and rest periods provided a copy is sent to the labour inspection committee. Noting that the draft new Labour Code is now being examined by representatives of different ministries, employers’ and workers’ organizations and civil society organizations, the Committee hopes that this provision will be adopted without modification and requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any progress in the process of adoption of the new Labour Code.
