RECOMMENDATIONS In line with the international labour standards, set a maximum daily limit of overtime work in the amount of 2 hours. Include a minimum overtime pay rate of 125% of normal wages into the Labour Code. Before the relevant legislative changes, in accordance with the case law and the require­ments of international conventions, the Labour Inspection Service should issue a recom­mendation on a 125% overtime pay rate. 4.4 Shift work Legal Review According to Article 25(1) of the Labour Code,“where an employer’s activities require 24 hours of uninterrupted production/work process, the parties may conclude a shift work agreement, without prejudice to the requirements[on the minimum right to 12 hours rest between], and subject to the condition that rest periods that are adequate to the hours worked will be granted to the employee.” Article 25(2) defines that“shift work is a method of organizing work in shifts whereby workers succeed each other at the same workstations according to a certain schedule, including in a rotating pattern, so as to enable the production/work process to continue longer than the working week set for the employee.” The Labour Code does not regu­late the maximum length of daily(single) shift work. It only defines the period of rest between the shifts – according to Article 24(4) of the Labour Code, the duration of unin­terrupted rest between shifts shall not be less than 12 hours.

According to the CEACR, “in some cases, national legislation limits the length of a single shift. For exam­ple, in Brazil, the Federal Constitution limits rotating shift work hours(defined as variable daily shift lengths including, even in part, both day and night work, which can disrupt the worker’s circadian rhythms) to a normal limit of six hours a day. In other countries, such as the Republic of Moldova, the length of a single shift is limited to less than 12 hours, while in Azerbaijan and Belarus no shift may be more than 12 hours. In Turkmenistan, the legislation provides that when working in shifts, each group of workers must carry out their work for the specified number 60
