In order to provide a comprehensive view of the issues relating to the application of the ratified Conventions on working time, the Committee considers it appropriate to examine Conventions Nos 1 (hours of work in industry), 14 (weekly rest in industry) and 30 (hours of rest in commerce and offices) in a single comment.
Legislative developments. The Committee notes the indication in the Government’s report that a bill amending the Labour Code, reducing working hours from 45 to 40 hours per week, is currently being considered. The Committee also notes that, according to the information available on the official website of the Senate of the Republic, the bill was introduced on 8 March 2017 and is currently going through its second constitutional reading, and on 19 October 2022, a new Labour and Social Welfare Committee preliminary report on the bill was unanimously adopted (Official Gazette No. 11179–13). In this regard, taking into consideration all of these elements and in order to enable it to carry out the analysis of the application of these Conventions with as much updated information as possible, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on: (i) the stage reached in the adoption process of the aforementioned bill; (ii) the categories of workers concerned and the practice followed in cases in which sections 38 (exceptional systems for the distribution of hours of work and periods of rest authorized by the Director of Labour) and 39 (biweekly working hours) of the Labour Code (in particular, in relation to the mining sector) are applied; and (iii) any relevant legislative or other information relating to the application of the Conventions. The Committee reminds the Government that it may avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office in this regard, as necessary.
[The Government is asked to reply in full to the present comments in 2023.]
