Convenio sobre el descanso semanal (comercio y oficinas), 1957 (núm. 106) - Irán (República Islámica del) (Ratificación : 1968)

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.
