Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2010, publiée 100ème session CIT (2011)

Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. Permanent and temporary exemptions. Further to its previous comments concerning section 152 of the Labour Code – which does not give full effect to the provisions of the Convention regarding exemptions relating to weekly rest – the Committee notes the Government’s statement that it has requested technical assistance from the Office with a view to drawing up draft legislation aimed at bringing the national legislation into conformity with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee trusts that the Office will be in a position to provide this assistance in the very near future and requests the Government to provide information on any developments in the process of drawing up such draft legislation.
