Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

The Committee notes the Government's last report on the application of the Convention and the information supplied in response to its direct request of 1994 concerning the measures taken or envisaged to apply the Articles of the Convention addressed in the Committee's comments. It notes in particular the indication that a draft amendment to section 31 of the Labour Code expressly states that normal working hours shall be eight hours per day and 48 hours per week, which is consistent with the provisions of Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee also notes the draft amendment to section 34 of the Code concerning the exceptions allowed to normal hours of work in commerce and offices. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would inform the Office as and when these amendments are adopted.
