The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report. The Committee requests the Government to provide additional information, in its next report, on the following points:
Article 6, paragraph 4, of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the manner in which the traditions and customs of religious minorities are respected, as far as possible, with regard to weekly rest.
Article 7, paragraphs 2 and 3. The Committee requests the Government to indicate what measures exist to ensure that workers subject to special weekly rest schemes, are provided the minimum period of rest of at least 24 hours for every period of seven days.
Article 8, paragraph 1. The Committee requests the Government to take the suitable measures to introduce the necessary precise provisions into the Labour Code or other national legislation with regard to temporary exemptions, total or partial, including the suspension or reduction of the rest period, under the special cases specified in Article 8, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
Article 8, paragraph 3. The Committee notes that section 98 of the Labour Code provides that work on a rest day must be compensated, as agreed between the parties, by the allocation of another rest day or by payment of monetary remuneration at a double rate. The Committee observes that under Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention, the granting of compensatory rest is compulsory regardless of monetary compensation. It hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention in this respect.
Article 9. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the effect given to this Article.
Article 11. The Committee requests the Government to supply lists of categories of persons and the types of establishment subject to special weekly rest schemes as provided for in Article 7, and information on the circumstances in which temporary exemptions may be granted under Article 8.
