Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Compensatory rest. Section 72 of the Labour Code states that compensation for working on a day of weekly rest may take the form of an extra day of rest or supplementary payment. The Committee reminds the Government that the Convention does not allow remuneration in lieu of compensatory periods of rest for work carried out on a day of weekly rest. It requests the Government to undertake the necessary steps in the near future to amend this section of the Labour Code in order to bring it into conformity with Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention, and to supply information on the progress achieved in its next report.
