Abstract |
Working paper and report prepared by the ILO for its Joint Committee for Postal and Telecommunications Services (Geneva, 1991). Chapter 1 of this report outlines the specific context of working time in the postal and telecommunications services, focusing on the special needs of this sector, the implications of recent innovations and the characteristics of its labour force. Chapter 2 examines the regulation of several important aspects of working time such as normal hours of work, overtime, rest periods, annual leave, public holidays, maternity leave, and it highlights differences in regulations between postal and telecommunications services. Chapter 3 deals with the organisation of working time. It examines night and shift work, part-time work and temporary and casual work. Special attention is paid to innovative experiences such as flexible working time, modular working time systems, job sharing, compressed work-weeks and telework. The report ends with a summary of the main points made in each chapter and a list of suggested points for discussion. |
