Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Saudi Arabia (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 8, paragraph 3 of the Convention. Referring to its previous observation, the Committee notes with interest the information in the Government’s report that a new Labour Code will soon be adopted and promulgated, which will ensure the granting of a compensatory rest day in addition to supplementary payment of wages in the event of work on a day of weekly rest. The Committee hopes that the new Labour Code will be enacted in the near future in order to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention. It asks the Government to supply a copy of the relevant text to the Office as soon as possible.
