Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Greenland

Article 7(2) and Article 8 of the Convention. The Committee notes that sections 53(3) and (4), 54, 55 and 56 of the Working Environment Act allow certain exceptions to the guarantee of a weekly rest of 24 hours in section 53(1). Please describe the practical application of these provisions in future reports, having regard to the requirement that where temporary exemptions to weekly rest provisions are granted equivalent compensatory rest should be allowed.

Article 10. The Committee notes the indication that due to the limited number of inspection staff it is difficult to ensure effective control of weekly rest legislation. Please include in future reports available information on the organisation and working of inspection (see Part III of the Report Form).
