Repetition

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Total or partial exceptions – Compensatory rest. The Committee notes the adoption of Law No. 009.004 of 29 January 2009 concerning the Labour Code which essentially reproduces, in articles 273 to 279, the provisions of the previous Labour Code on weekly rest. The Committee notes in particular that section 277 of the new code allows weekly rest to be granted by rotation or collectively on days other than Sunday and foresees an order setting up a list of establishments which are automatically subject to weekly rest by rotation.In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to clarify whether Order No. 838/ITT of 22 November 1953 governing weekly rest and Decree No. 63-311 of 26 November 1963 determining the list of establishments automatically subject to weekly rest by rotation – to which the Government referred until its report submitted in 1986 – are still in force.

The Committee also requests the Government to indicate the conditions under which total or partial exceptions from the normal weekly scheme may be granted to industrial establishments and to specify whether compensatory rest periods may be granted in case of such exceptions.
