The Committee notes the adoption of the new Labour Code, which came into force on 1 July 2004.

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Temporary exemptions – compensatory rest. The Committee notes that, under section 115 of the new Labour Code, employees who work on the weekly rest day must be granted, under the terms of an agreement with the employer, another rest day, an extension to the annual holiday, or monetary compensation at double the normal rate. The Committee recalls that, according to Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention, any worker whose weekly rest has been suspended or reduced must be granted compensatory rest of a total duration of at least 24 hours. It emphasizes that rest periods must be granted at regular intervals or at least without significant gaps between them so as to offer the necessary minimum of rest and leisure to ensure the protection of the health and well-being of the worker. The Committee requests the Government to take all the necessary steps to guarantee compensatory rest in the event of reduction or suspension of weekly rest, in accordance with this Article of the Convention.

Part V of the report form. Practical application. The Committee requests the Government to supply general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for example, information on the number of workers covered by the relevant legislation, extracts of the reports of the inspection services indicating the number and nature of infringements reported with regard to weekly rest and penalties imposed, etc.
