Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. In cases where work is executed during the weekly rest period, sections 36 and 37 of the Employment Standards Act of British Columbia, as amended through the Employment Standards Amendment Act of 2002, provide for compensation in payment. The Committee asks the Federal Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that compensatory periods of rest are granted, as far as possible, for any suspensions and diminutions made in virtue of Article 4.

Article 7. With the repeal of section 31 of the Employment Standards Act of British Columbia, as amended, employers are no longer required to display hours of work notices, which also indicate hours free from work. The Committee requests the Government to state the methods adopted to give effect to this Article.
