Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Saudi Arabia (Ratification: 1978)

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Total or partial exceptions – compensatory rest. The Committee requests the Government to refer to the comments made under Articles 7 and 8 of the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106).

Article 7. Posting of notices. The Committee notes that, under sections 12 and 13 of the new Labour Law (Royal Decree No. M/51 of 27 September 2005), employers employing ten or more workers are required to submit to the Ministry of Labour a work organization regulation which includes internal work arrangements and which, once approved, must be displayed in a prominent location at the workplace. The Committee requests the Government to clarify how this requirement of the Convention is given effect in the case of enterprises employing less than ten workers. It would also appreciate receiving a copy of the model work organization regulation provided for in section 14 of the Labour Law.
