The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:
Article 2 of the Convention. Minimum weekly rest. The Committee notes that the Government has not provided further information relating to the legislation on the weekly rest since 1976. It also notes that, in its first report on the application of the Convention, the Government indicated that there was no specific legislation instituting a weekly rest, but that Sundays were a public holiday under the terms of common law (Annex of the Ordinance on public holidays, Chap. 176). The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether new legislation has been adopted in the meantime to govern the weekly rest in industry and, if so, to communicate copies of any such legislation.
Article 7. Notices and rosters. The Committee requests the Government to provide specimen copies of the notices and rosters by means of which employers make known to their staff the days and hours of weekly rest, as required by this Article of the Convention.
Part V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to provide general indications on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, in particular extracts from inspection services reports and, if possible, further information on the number of workers employed in industry, the number and nature of contraventions reported, etc.
