Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2003, publiée 92ème session CIT (2004)

Convention (n° 14) sur le repos hebdomadaire (industrie), 1921 - Bulgarie (Ratification: 1925)

The Committee notes that the Act of 2 March 2001 to amend and supplement the Labour Code has not changed section 150(2) of the Labour Code.

Article 5 of the Convention. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes that, under section 150(2) of the Labour Code, compensation for overtime work with extra leave is prohibited. It recalls once again that, in so far as overtime work on a weekly rest day may be allowed exceptionally under section 144 of the Labour Code, under Article 5 of the Convention it should be compensated, as far as possible, by a rest period. The Committee urges the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure conformity of national regulations with the Convention by providing, as far as possible, compensatory rest periods to the workers concerned.
