Article 5 of the Convention. Compensatory rest. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s explanations regarding the tripartite consultations held in the Advisory Council on Work and Safety, and the reference to section 19 of Decree No. 73-085 of 30 January 1973 establishing a procedure to be followed in the event of a request for the suspension of weekly rest. The Committee emphasizes that, in keeping with the letter and spirit of the Convention, a minimum of rest and leisure time each week is essential to protecting the health and well-being of workers, hence the importance of compensatory rest – rather than monetary compensation – where work is performed on the weekly day of rest. The Committee points out in this connection that Articles 7 and 8 of the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106), ratification of which is still strongly recommended, require the granting of compensatory rest to be compulsory in the event of permanent or temporary exceptions to the normal weekly rest scheme. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that, as far as possible, compensatory rest is granted to these workers, in accordance with this Article of the Convention.
