Article 7 of the Convention. Holiday pay. The Committee notes the adoption of the Employment Relationships Act ZDR-1 (ACT ZDR-1) (Official Gazette No. 21/2013) which entered into force in April 2013, in particular section 159(1) according to which a worker obtains the right to annual leave by entering into an employment relationship, or 1/12 of annual leave for each month of employment (and no longer after an uninterrupted period of service, which may not exceed six months, as was the case under section 161 of the previous Employment Relationships Act).

In addition, the Committee notes that under section 131 of Act ZDR-1, the employer is obliged to pay annual leave compensation in the amount of at least the minimum wage and also that the annual leave pay must be paid by 1 July at the latest. The Committee requests the Government to specify how it is ensured in law and in practice that every person taking his annual holiday is entitled to receive at least his normal or average remuneration and that such remuneration is effectively paid in advance of the holiday, as required under this Article of the Convention.
