Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its direct request, and the Wage Regulation Orders supplied with the report.

The Committee takes due note of the Government's statement that the Committee's comments will be kept in view when preparing draft legislation to revise the Conditions of Employment (Regulation) Act. It requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any development in this respect. It recalls that its comments deal essentially with the measures to be taken to give effect to the provisions of Article 6 of the Convention, which provides that regulations made by public authority, after consultation with the organizations of employers and workers concerned, shall fix the maximum of additional hours which may be allowed.

In the meantime, the Committee requests the Government to supply information in its next report on the effect given in practice to the Convention, and particularly on the actual length of the working day and the number of additional hours performed, by providing, for example, as provided in Part VI of the report form, extracts of the reports of the inspection services and, where appropriate, the statistical data requested.
