The Committee refers to its observation under the same Convention and requests further clarification on the following points.

Article 8, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention. Posting of rest intervals. The Committee notes that section 4 of Ministerial Order No. 01/386/MTET regulates the posting of work schedules at the place of work. The Committee requests clarification from the Government, whether these schedules clearly indicate the rest intervals accorded to the workers in accordance with this provision of the Convention.

Article 8, paragraph 2. Enforcement of provisions. The Government states in its report that employees are responsible for notifying the Government, through the workers’ organizations, to have the Government react and enforce the provisions related to hours of work and the authorization of supplementary hours of work. The Committee recalls that, under this provision of the Convention, violations related to hours of work are offences against the law and the Government is required to implement and enforce the laws. While denunciation by workers’ organizations may be one way of facilitating the enforcement of legislation, the Committee reminds the Government that, to ensure the effective implementation of these laws, it cannot transfer its supervisory authority to the workforce. The Committee further reminds the Government of its obligations under the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), which Comoros has ratified. It notes that the Government has previously indicated difficulties in ensuring adequate labour inspection. It hopes, however, that the Government will be in a position in its next report to provide information on progress made in this regard.

Parts III, IV and V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to provide the information required under these points of the report form.
