Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that pursuant to section 4 of the Revolutionary Command Council Order No. 606 of 1980, "(a)n employee who works on a day of weekly rest or on an official holiday shall be compensated with an alternative day of rest or with overtime wages in accordance with section 3(2) of this Order". Section 2 of Revolutionary Command Council Order No. 1119 of 1980 amended section 3(2) of Order No. 606 to provide that "(e)very hour of overtime work performed on a day of weekly rest or on an official holiday shall count as one-and-a-half hours of ordinary work". The Committee requests the Government to indicate what steps have been taken or are contemplated to ensure that, as far as possible, a worker who works on his weekly rest day will be granted a compensatory rest period, regardless of any cash compensation, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention.
