Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Tajikistan (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Article 5 of the Convention. Compensatory periods of rest. The Committee notes that under section 82 of the Labour Code of 15 May 1997 (Text No. 417), work performed on a weekly rest day may be compensated by means of either an alternative day off or cash payment at a higher rate. The Committee wishes to emphasize in this respect that provision must be made, as far as possible, for compensatory periods of rest for any suspension or diminution of the period of weekly rest regardless of any cash compensation.

Article 7. Notices and rosters. The Committee notes the Government’s reference to section 65 of the Labour Code, which provides that all working-time arrangements, such as daily and weekly limits on hours of work, shift schedules, daily breaks and weekly rest periods, are established through internal rules, local legal acts or agreement between the employers and the workers concerned. Recalling that this Article of the Convention requires the posting of notices, or the drawing up of rosters, in order to keep the workers informed of the weekly rest scheme applicable to them, the Committee requests the Government to specify any legal provision(s) giving effect to this requirement of the Convention.
