The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains limited information in reply to its previous comment. Therefore, the Committee invites the Government to provide detailed information regarding the following points.

Article 2 of the Convention. Scope of application – Public sector. The Committee noted that Act No. 41-08 on the public service does not contain any provisions relating to the weekly rest of public servants. The Committee therefore again requests the Government to indicate the legislative or regulatory provisions which grant a minimum weekly rest period of 24 consecutive hours to public sector employees.

Article 8(3). Temporary exemptions – Compensatory rest. With regard to the amendment of section 164 of the Labour Code that gives the worker working in the period of weekly rest the option of either having a salary increase or benefiting of a compensatory rest, the Committee noted the Government’s indication that the members of the Labour Advisory Council had reached an agreement to bring it into conformity with the provisions of the Convention. The Government indicated that the matter would be submitted to the National Assembly in the near future. The Committee again recalls that Article 8(3) of the Convention requires compensatory rest to be granted to workers subject to a temporary exemption, whether or not these workers benefit from cash compensation. The Committee again requests the Government to provide information on any progress made in this regard and to provide a copy of the relevant text once it has been adopted.
