Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes that the Government's report does not reply to its previous comments. It trusts that the Government's next report will contain information on the following point.

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In the comments it has been making since 1983, the Committee has drawn the Government's attention to section 11 of Order No. 1545 of 23 December 1953 which appeared to authorize the suspension of weekly rest without providing for compensatory rest in certain cases. It noted, in particular, that section 11 provided compensatory rest for workers in a second enterprise involved in the repair work necessary for the first enterprise and for workers in the first enterprise who are normally engaged in maintenance or repair work. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether persons employed in the establishments set forth in Article 2 of the Convention are, in practice, subject to the exception to weekly rest provided for under section 11 of Order No. 1545 and, if so, to indicate the manner in which compensatory rest is ensured for these persons.
