Article 1 of the Convention. The principle of the 40-hour week. The Committee notes that the Government’s report essentially reproduces information provided in previous reports and does not indicate any new legislative or other measures that would further implement the Convention, nor does it respond to the Committee’s earlier comments. The Committee has been drawing the Government’s attention to section 123 of the Labour Code which provides for an overly long reference period of one year for the averaging of hours of work, and to section 124 which does not set any conditions or limits to overtime work. In this connection, the Committee once again refers to Paragraphs 12 and 14 of the Reduction of Hours of Work Recommendation, 1962 (No. 116) which seek to ensure that the principle of the 40-hour week is not defeated by undue recourse to averaging. The Committee is therefore obliged to request once more the Government to provide detailed information on the effect given to the provisions of the Labour Code respecting the regulation of averaging of hours of work and overtime in the light of the recognized social standard of the 40-hour week.
