Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1984)

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Total or partial exceptions. Further to its previous comments concerning the content and implementation of section 152 of the Labour Code – which does not give full effect to the provisions of the Convention concerning exceptions to the rules on weekly rest – the Committee notes the Government’s statement to the effect that it has requested technical assistance from the Office with a view to drafting a law aimed at bringing the national legislation into conformity with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Office will be in a position to supply this assistance in the very near future and requests the Government to provide information on any developments in the process of drafting a law.
