Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1992, Publicación: 79ª reunión CIT (1992)

Further to its comments over many years, the Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report and in the Conference Committee in 1991, from which it appears that there has no been no progress in amending the legislation in order to comply with Article 2 of the Convention. The Government stated that this matter depends on the revision of the Labour Code now being undertaken by the National Labour Advisory Committee. In these circumstances, the Committee would again refer to its earlier comments, which read as follows:

Section 129, second paragraph, of the Labour Code provides that the length of service entitling workers to holiday can be of up to 24 or 30 months in the case of an individual contract or a collective agreement. Article 2 of the Convention lays down the right to an annual holiday with pay of at least six working days after one year of continuous service. It recalls that in 1980 a draft Decree was drawn up with the assistance of the ILO, providing for the amendment of section 129 of the Code so that persons covered by the Convention may benefit from a minimum holiday with pay every year. It trusts that the draft - which was updated in 1988 - will be adopted in the very near future, in accordance with the Government's assurances.

[The Government is asked to supply full particulars to the Conference at its 79th Session.]
