Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1997, publiée 86ème session CIT (1998)

Convention (n° 106) sur le repos hebdomadaire (commerce et bureaux), 1957 - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In comments it has been making since 1983, the Committee has drawn the Government's attention to section 11 of Order No. 1545 of 23 December 1953 which appeared to authorize the suspension of weekly rest without providing for compensatory rest in certain cases. It noted, in particular, that section 11 provided compensatory rest for workers in a second enterprise involved in the repair work necessary for the first enterprise and for workers in the first enterprise who are normally engaged in maintenance or repair work. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether persons employed in the establishments set forth in Article 2 of the Convention are, in practice, subject to the exception to weekly rest provided for under section 11 of Order No. 1545 and, if so, to indicate the manner in which compensatory rest is ensured for these persons.
