Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Hours of Work (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1930 (No. 30) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1934)

Article 4 of the Convention. Compressed work week. The Committee refers to the comments it made on this subject in the direct request published in 2014 regarding the Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 1).

Article 7(1)(a). Intermittent work. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that, under section 61(c) of the Labour Code, persons who carry out work that is intermittent or which requires only their physical presence, as defined by the Ministry of Labour in each specific case, are not subject to the limitations imposed by the Labour Code in respect of hours of work. The Committee notes that the Government’s report received in September 2013 does not contain new information in this regard. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate whether the Ministry of Labour has issued regulations under this provision of the Convention and, if so, to provide a copy. If the determination of intermittent work is indeed made on a case by case basis, the Government is requested to indicate the criteria used for this purpose and to provide practical examples.

Article 7(2). Additional hours. The Committee refers to the comments it made on this subject in the direct request published in 2014 regarding Convention No. 1.
