Convention (n° 1) sur la durée du travail (industrie), 1919 (Ratification: 1928)
Convention (n° 30) sur la durée du travail (commerce et bureaux), 1930 (Ratification: 1958)

In order to provide a comprehensive view of the issues relating to the application of ratified Conventions on working time, the Committee considers it appropriate to examine Conventions Nos 1 and 30 (hours of work) together.

Article 5(1) of Convention No. 1 and Article 6 of Convention No. 30. Averaging of hours. The Committee notes that sections L.211-6 and L.211-9 of the Labour Code, which authorize the distribution of hours of work over reference periods of up to four and 12 months respectively, do not specify the circumstances in which such a distribution of hours of work may be applied. The Committee recalls that Article 5(1) of Convention No. 1 and Article 6 of Convention No. 30 only authorize the variable distribution of hours of work over a reference period longer than a week in exceptional cases when the normal limits of eight hours in the day and 48 hours in the week are inapplicable. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the circumstances in which the working time arrangements envisaged in sections L.211-6 and L.211-9 of the Labour Code can be applied.
