Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 82ème session CIT (1995)

Convention (n° 14) sur le repos hebdomadaire (industrie), 1921 - Maurice (Ratification: 1969)

Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government's indication that a decision would be taken with regard to bringing section 14(4) of the Export Processing Zones Act, 1970, into conformity with the Convention. It noted in particular that section 14(4) provides that "an employee shall not be allowed or required to work for more than seven consecutive days". In this regard, it further pointed out that despite section 14(4), according to the Government, the normal Sunday rest day is not always provided in practice. The Committee notes the Government's statement in its last report that it is still considering measures to bring the existing legislation in line with Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention and that it will keep the Office informed of any development. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in the near future the progress achieved in this respect and to supply a copy of the relevant text when it is adopted.
