Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

Convention (n° 1) sur la durée du travail (industrie), 1919 - Paraguay (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee refers to its observation and to the new Labour Code (Act No. 213 of 29 October 1993). It would be grateful if the Government would supply additional information on the following points:

1. Please indicate whether continuous shift work (section 210 of the Labour Code) is subject to normal working hours (set out in section 194).

2. The Committee notes that section 211 of the new Labour Code no longer refers (as former section 212 did) to the consultation of the organizations of employers and workers for the adoption of regulations applicable to activities which have special characteristics or require the continuous performance of work. It recalls that, in accordance with Article 6 of the Convention, regulations to determine permanent and temporary exceptions shall be made after consultation with the organizations of employers and workers concerned. Please indicate the manner in which effect is given to these provisions of the Convention.
