Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

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

Display in: French - SpanishView all

Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. Permanent and temporary exemptions. Compensatory rest. With reference to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s indication in its last report that a draft order was to be drafted and submitted in April 2014 to the National Council for Labour, Employment and Social Security (CONTESS) for adoption. This order is provided for under section 97 of the Labour Code of 2006 with a view to giving full effect to Articles 7 and 8 of the Convention. The Committee therefore wishes to recall that the Convention allows permanent or temporary exemptions only in the circumstances specifically defined and asks that workers to whom such exemptions apply be granted compensatory rest of a total duration at least equivalent to the weekly rest period of 24 hours. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any development with regard to the abovementioned draft order.
