Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Bulgaria (Ratification: 1960)

Article 8 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, under section 150 of the 1987 Labour Code, compensation for overtime work with extra leave is prohibited. It recalls that, in so far as overtime work on a weekly rest day may be allowed exceptionally under section 144, it should under Article 8(3) of the Convention be compensated by a rest period of a total duration at least equivalent to the minimum provided for under Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the occasion of the current revision of the Labour Code to ensure the application of the Convention in this respect, and that it will provide full information in its next report.
