Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

Article 9 of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 99(2) of the Labour Code in some cases authorises the accrual of leave only after a period not exceeding two years; and that section 1(3) of Decree No. 75-28 authorises the postponement of leave for a similar period. The Committee pointed out that these provisions are not in conformity with the Convention, according to which a part of the holiday (a minimum of two weeks) should be granted and taken no later than one year from the end of the year in respect of which the holiday entitlement has arisen. In its latest report, the Government again states that measures to improve the legislative provisions referred to in the Committee's comments are under examination. It adds that the inspection services have made no observation on the application of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will provide full details of measures taken or proposed to bring the national legislation into conformity with the Convention.
