Article 2 of the Convention. Length and scope of weekly rest. The Committee notes with interest that on 13 December 2005 the People’s General Committee adopted Decision No. 489 extending to 48 hours weekly rest in the public service other than schools, hospitals and police and customs services.

The Committee notes that, according to section 89 of the Labour Code, the provisions on weekly rest do not apply to the cleaning and security staff of the enterprise, and that such staff must be the subject of regulations issued by the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether such regulations have been adopted and, if so, to provide a copy of them. It further notes that, according to section 90 of the Labour Code, regulations may specify that some or all of its provisions on working time, including weekly rest, shall not apply to workers in supervisory or administrative posts, confidential positions or special posts, provided that these regulations establish the maximum authorized hours of work. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether such regulations have been adopted and, if so, to provide a copy of them.

Article 5. Compensation for suspensions or diminutions in weekly rest. The Committee notes that, in 1988, the national committee responsible for examining international labour Conventions and Recommendations recommended that section 88 of the Labour Code be amended to ban the replacement of compensatory rest by monetary compensation in the event of work on the weekly rest day. The Committee also notes that, in an earlier report, the Government announced its intention of amending the Labour Code to allow workers required to work on the weekly rest day to be given compensatory rest, regardless of any compensatory pay, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether measures have been taken or envisaged to this end.

Part V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to provide general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for example, extracts of inspection reports and, if possible, statistical data on the number of workers protected by the legislation and the number and nature of the infringements reported.
