Articles 4 and 6 of the Convention. Total or partial exceptions. The Committee requests the Government to refer to the comments made concerning the application of Articles 7 and 8 of the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106).

Article 7. Notices and rosters. In its previous comment, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the legal provisions giving effect to the employer’s obligation to post notices or draw up rosters informing workers of the days and hours of rest, and also to provide specimens of such notices and rosters. In the absence of new information on this point, the Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the measures adopted or envisaged to ensure that workers are kept informed of the days and hours of rest by means of notices or rosters, as required under this Article of the Convention.

Finally, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the conclusions of the ILO Tripartite Meeting of Experts on Working Time Arrangements, held in October 2011, according to which the provisions of existing ILO standards relating to daily and weekly hours of work, weekly rest, paid annual leave, part-time and night work, remain relevant in the twenty-first century, and should be promoted in order to facilitate decent work. The Experts also emphasized the importance of working time, its regulation, and organization and management, to: (a) workers and their health and well-being, including opportunities for balancing working and non-work time; (b) the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises; and (c) effective responses to economic and labour market crises.
