Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Lithuania (Ratification: 1931)

Article 5 of the Convention. Compensatory rest. The Committee notes that under section 144(1) of the Labour Code, work performed on a rest day must be remunerated at double the pay rate. According to section 144(5), the employee may request that working time on days off, multiplied by the corresponding rate, be added to annual leave time. The Committee recalls that the basic purpose of the Convention is to provide workers with minimum rest periods at regular intervals in order to protect their health and well-being. The Committee requests the Government to indicate how it is ensured that in case of exceptions to weekly rest, compensatory periods of rest of at least 24 consecutive hours in every period of seven days are effectively granted, as far as possible, to employees working during their weekly rest, irrespective of any monetary compensation.
