Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

Convention (n° 47) des quarante heures, 1935 - Finlande (Ratification: 1989)

The Committee takes note with interest of the first and subsequent report of the Government. In this connection, it would be grateful if the Government would provide further information on the following point.

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, under section 4 of the Act on employment relationships of domestic workers, the 40-hour work-week is not applied to domestic workers. In their case, a worker's regular week may total 90 hours during a two-week period. The Committee hopes that future reports will indicate the progress made in extending the principle of the 40-hour week to this category of workers.
