Article 7(3) and (4) of the Convention. Temporary exceptions. Annual limit on the number of additional hours and overtime pay. The Committee recalls that it has been requesting the Government for many years to take measures to ensure the harmonization of the legislation in force with the articles of the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report that the amendment of section 36(4) of the Labour Code is on the agenda of the Harmonization Committee of the committees established under the Panama tripartite agreement which has itself come to a standstill due to disagreement over workers’ representation. The Government also indicates the presentation of a draft bill for the establishment of a Higher Labour Council, which would include the committees under the Panama tripartite agreement. In addition, regarding the adoption of a regulation on additional hours for the public sector, it indicates that discussions on this matter have also been suspended for the same reasons. In this regard, the Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure full compliance with Article 7(3) and (4)of the Convention. The Committee recalls that the Government may, if it so wishes, avail itself of ILO technical assistance in this regard.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
