Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2002, publiée 91ème session CIT (2003)

The Committee notes that the information provided in the Government’s last report still does not contain a reply to its previous comments with regard to Article 2 of the Convention. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in this respect in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that the weekly rest provisions of the 1965 Shops and Establishments Act apply to establishments, irrespective of the number of workers, by government notifications made under section 5(2) of the Act. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide texts of the notifications applying the weekly rest provisions of the 1965 Act to establishments employing fewer than five workers. It also requests the Government to indicate the areas in which the 1965 Act does not yet apply to establishments employing less than five workers.
