Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Greenland

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee notes that sections 53(3) and (4), 54, 55 and 56 of the Working Environment Act permit certain exceptions to the rule guaranteeing a weekly rest period of 24 hours. The Committee asks the Government to provide information in future reports on the practical application of these exceptions, and on any consultations with responsible associations of employers and workers in this connection.

Article 7. The Committee notes the Government's indication that due to the limited number of inspection staff it is difficult to ensure effective control of compliance with the weekly rest legislation. The Government is asked to provide information on the means used to ensure that days of rest are made known in accordance with the Convention.

Please also include in future reports available information on the organisation and working of inspection (Part III of the report form).
