Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

The Committee refers to its earlier comments and notes with interest that under the terms of the draft Labour Code in the private sector, which was prepared with the ILO's assistance, provision is made to grant to all workers defined in section 2 of the draft Labour Code, including temporary workers employed for a period of not more than six months and workers at enterprises employing less than five people, a weekly rest period of 24 consecutive hours during the course of each seven day period, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 2 and 6 of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to keep the ILO informed of any developments with regard to the adoption of the Labour Code and hopes that the Government's next report will indicate to what extent national legislation is in conformity with the fundamental provisions of the Convention.
