Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Further to its observation, the Committee notes that section 1 of the Labour Code of 1990 makes the weekly rest provisions in section 62 applicable to all employers, workers, workplaces and establishments. The Committee wonders whether the Government might in conformity with Article 3, paragraph 2, consider communicating to the Director-General of the International Labour Office a declaration accepting the obligations of the Convention in respect of establishments set out in Article 3, paragraph 1, that is:

(a) establishments, institutions and administrative services providing personal services;

(b) post and telecommunications services;

(c) newspaper undertakings; and

(d) theatres and places of public entertainment.

Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction that the 1990 Labour Code provides in section 62 for a day of weekly rest for all workers, including those who exceptionally work on the usual day of rest.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 14 (note in fine) of the Labour Act of 1955 is not in conformity with this provision of the Convention which requires that, in the event of work on the weekly rest day, a compensatory uninterrupted period of leave of 24 hours be granted to the worker in question, irrespective of any compensatory payment.

In reply, the Government states that section 62 of the new Labour Code provides that it is compulsory to grant one day of rest in the week. The Committee notes this information with interest and requests the Government to indicate whether the new Code has come into force.
