Article 3(1) of the Convention. Period during which night work is prohibited. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 28 of the Act No. 90-11 of 21 April 1990 concerning employment relationships (Employment Relationship Act) prohibits the employment of workers of either sex under 19 years of age in night work which means any work performed between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. (section 27). The Committee further noted that the prohibition of night work for young persons under the Employment Relationship Act did not cover a period of at least 11 consecutive hours, including the interval between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., as required by Article 3(1) of the Convention. The Government indicated that the Committee’s comments on that matter would be taken into account in the draft Labour Code under preparation.
The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that, to give full effect to the provisions of Article 3(1) of the Convention, section 45 of the draft Labour Code prohibits the employment of workers and apprentices of either sex under 18 years of age at night, which covers a period of 11 consecutive hours between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Noting that the Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention to the need to bring the national legislation into conformity with the Convention for many years, it firmly hopes that the draft Labour Code will be adopted in the near future and that its provisions will give full effect to Article 3(1) of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any progress made in this respect.
