The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its first report. It requests the Government to supply additional information on the following points:
Article 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Please supply full particulars on the regulations adopted under the terms of this provision of the Convention in both the private and public sectors.
Article 6, paragraph 2. The Committee notes that section 122 of the Labour Code authorises up to four additional hours of work per day. It points out that the employment of a worker for four additional hours per day without any restriction (such as a monthly or annual limit) greatly exceeds the exceptions authorised by the Convention and is resolutely contrary to the spirit in which the Convention was drawn up.
The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures to determine, after consultation with the organisations of employers and workers concerned, the circumstances in which use may be made of additional hours and the maximum reasonable number of additional hours which may be authorised in each instance. The Committee also requests the Government to supply information on the application of this provision of the Convention in the public sector.
Article 8, paragraph 1(a) and (b). Please supply information on the manner in which effect is given to these provisions of the Convention in the public and private sectors.
