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

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. The Labour Act (Act No. 2/1990) applies to all undertakings, enterprises or establishments in the national territory (section 3 of Act No. 2/1990). However, under section 4 of the Act, the work of public officials is excluded from the scope of the Act and covered by special regulations. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether public industrial establishments are covered by Act No. 2/1990 and, if not, to provide a copy of the regulations on hours of work that apply to them. Furthermore, section 48(4) of Act No. 2/1990 provides that the daily and weekly limits on hours of work do not apply, finally, to persons performing duties which, by their nature, do not involve fixed working days. The Committee requests the Government to provide more specific information on the categories of workers so excluded.
