Convenio sobre la edad mínima, 1973 (núm. 138) - Federación de Rusia (Ratificación : 1979)

Article 7, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Definition of light work. In its previous comments the Committee noted that, under the terms of section 63(3) of the Labour Code, pupils who have reached 14 years of age may perform light work outside of school hours on the condition that a parent or guardian consents and the work does not affect their regular school attendance or endanger their health. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the national legislation does not explicitly define types of light work but contains provisions which restrict or prohibit certain types of work for young persons and prescribe the number of hours that the latter may work (section 94 of the Labour Code). Furthermore, the Committee notes that any employer who concludes an employment contract with a young person who has reached 14 years of age is obliged to organize the work of the latter in such a way as to avoid disrupting his or her education. The employer is also obliged to ensure compliance with the provisions of the labour legislation relating to hours of work (section 92 of the Labour Code) and with the guarantees and compensations relating to education (Chapter 26 of the Labour Code). Hours of work and rest must be organized in such a way as to ensure that the regular school attendance of young persons is not affected.
