Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that section 11(f) of the Labour Act (Cap. 75) provides that no worker may be required to work on more than six days in one week unless such worker is employed in an occupation in which work on customary rest days is expressly provided for in the contract of service.
