Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Kuwait (Ratification: 1961)

Article 2 of the Convention. For many years, the Committee has been drawing the Government's attention to the need to adopt provisions to guarantee a weekly rest period of 24 consecutive hours for workers covered by the Convention but excluded from the scope of the Labour Law (Private Sector) of 1964, namely temporary workers employed for a period of less than six months and workers in enterprises employing fewer than five persons. The Committee notes with regret that, despite the assurances given on several occasions by the Government that it would bring the national legislation on the above points into conformity with the Convention, no progress has yet been made in this respect. The Committee trusts that the Government will not fail to take the necessary measures without delay.
