Convenio sobre el descanso semanal (industria), 1921 (núm. 14) - Türkiye (Ratificación : 1946)

Article 5. Compensatory rest. In reply to the Committee’s comments on compensatory rest in lieu of extra pay, the Government indicates that, according to section 6 of the Regulations on overtime and extra hours pursuant to the Labour Act, the worker may get overtime wage in return for her/his overtime work or have a rest of one and half day within the next six months without any wage reduction. According to the Government, this applies to work performed on the weekly rest day. The Committee also takes note of the comments of the Turkish Confederation of Employers’ Associations (TİSK) and the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (TÜRK-IŞ), attached to the Government’s report. TÜRK IŞ indicates that, with regard to workers in the private sector, the hours actually worked may in many cases be above the statutory limit and they are not granted the respective rest periods. In view of the observations formulated by the social partners, the Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the practical application of the Convention.
