| Summary: | Algerian law, up until the labor reform of 1990, provided that the allocation of time between work and leisure was the sole prerogative of the state. Today, at least in both the public and private economic sectors the law has been modified to provide for negotiated adjustments in the distribution of work and leisure. Now, regulation in this area must take into consideration the provisions of treaty law to reach the best possible compromise between prescription and flexibility. The most recent government decision in this area introduced limited change to the concept of weekly rest for the Civil Service, a change that might serve as a model for the economic sector generally. Regardless of the sector, weekly rest may now be excepted on the basis of legal prescription. Paradoxically however, establishment of a Friday holiday for religious reasons effectively reproduces the Judeo-Christian model with respect to weekly rest and religious practices. |
