In its previous comments the Committee noted that, under section 150(2) of the 1992 version of the Labour Code, compensation for overtime work with extra leave is prohibited. It recalled that, in so far as overtime work on a weekly rest day may be allowed exceptionally under section 144, it should under Article 8(3) of the Convention be compensated by a rest period of a total duration at least equivalent to the minimum provided for under Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee expressed the hope that the Government would take the necessary measures to amend the weekly rest provisions of the Labour Code to ensure the application of the Convention with respect to compensatory rest. The Committee observes that the Government's latest report contains no specific answer to its previous request. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary action in the near future and that it will provide full information in its next report.
