Article 6 of the Convention. Entitlement to weekly rest. Further to its previous comments, the Committee recalls that with the adoption of Decree No. 230-2010 of 4 November 2010, it would appear that workers hired under the National Hourly Employment Programme are not protected as regards entitlement to weekly rest. The Committee further notes that section 12 of Agreement No. STSS-002-2011 of 21 January 2011 lists the entitlements of workers hired under the temporary work programme but does not include entitlement to weekly rest, unless it is granted voluntarily by the employer. The Committee understands that the National Hourly Employment Programme was introduced for a period of 36 months ending in November 2013. It accordingly asks the Government to take the necessary steps, in the event of any extension of the National Hourly Employment Programme, or the adoption of any similar anti-crisis programmes, to ensure that all workers have the right to weekly rest, in accordance with the Convention.
