Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2013, Publicación: 103ª reunión CIT (2014)

Convenio sobre el descanso semanal (comercio y oficinas), 1957 (núm. 106) - Eslovenia (Ratificación : 1992)

Article 7 of the Convention. Special weekly rest schemes. The Committee notes the adoption of the Employment Relationships Act ZDR-1 (Act ZDR-1) (Official Gazette No. 21/2013), which entered into force in April 2013. It also notes the Government’s explanations concerning section 156 of Act ZDR-1, which seeks to ensure that if an employee is required to work on a weekly rest day, they must be granted another day of rest in the following week so that they get in all cases two days of rest in a 14-day period.

However, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention once again to section 158(2) of Act ZDR-1, which allows for the accumulation of the weekly rest entitlement over a maximum period of six months in the case of shift work or in anticipation of a certain amount of irregular work or additional work load. In this respect, the Committee wishes to recall Paragraph 3 of the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Recommendation, 1957 (No. 103), which provides that employees subject to special weekly rest schemes should not work for more than three weeks without receiving the rest periods to which they are entitled. The Committee trusts that the Government will consider on the next suitable occasion steps to ensure that the national legislation is fully aligned with the requirements of the Convention on this point.
