The Committee notes the detailed information provided by the Government in its report. The Committee requests the Government to refer to its comments on the application of Convention No. 106, as follows:

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 37 of the Labour Code provided that a worker who was required to work on a weekly rest day by virtue of section 33 could choose between an equivalent period of compensatory rest and the wages for the hours worked. The Committee recalled that, under Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention, equivalent compensatory rest should be granted whenever temporary exemptions were made.

The Committee notes the Government's indication in its latest report that the attention of the commission revising the Labour Code has been drawn to this provision of the Convention. The Committee recalls that in accordance with Article 8, paragraph 3, compensatory rest must be granted, regardless of any monetary compensation, when temporary exemptions are made for the reasons enumerated in paragraph 1 of this Article. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention and indicate any developments in this respect.
