Convenio sobre el descanso semanal (industria), 1921 (núm. 14) - Argelia (Ratificación : 1962)

Article 7 of the Convention. Notices and rosters. Further to its previous comment concerning the obligation for the employer in an enterprise employing fewer than 20 workers to inform the workers of the days and hours of rest by means of notices posted conspicuously in the establishment, or by a roster drawn up in accordance with the method approved by the national legislation or by a regulation, the Committee notes the Government’s reply to the effect that labour standards, including hours of work and the distribution thereof, belong to the area of collective bargaining. The Government indicates that, in the event of a dispute concerning the distribution of hours of work, it is the rules of conciliation and arbitration that apply. The Committee wishes to recall that the purpose of Article 7 of the Convention is not only to inform workers of the weekly hours of rest that are applicable to them, but also to ensure the enforcement of these conditions. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future to ensure that all workers are informed of days and hours of rest by means of notices or rosters, in accordance with this Article of the Convention.
