Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2005, publiée 95ème session CIT (2006)

Article 4 of the Convention. Exceptions. The Committee notes that section A.144.2 of Order No. 96-1566/MEFPT-SG of 7 October 1996 giving effect to certain provisions of the Labour Code lists the establishments allowed to give the weekly rest day, by rotation, on a day other than Sunday. It also notes that, by virtue of this provision, the competent labour inspector may, after consultation with the employers’ and workers’ organizations concerned, authorize enterprises other than those listed to make use of this facility. The Committee requests the Government to supply further information on the types of enterprises for which such exceptions have been granted by the labour inspectors.

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes the Government’s statement according to which the statistics currently available make it not possible to establish the exact number of workers protected by the relevant legislation. It requests the Government to give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for instance, extracts from the reports of the inspection services and, if possible, information on the number and nature of the contraventions reported, etc.
