Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Georgia (RATIFICATION: 1993)

Articles 2 and 6 of the Convention. Workers’ right to annual holidays with pay. The Committee notes the observations made by the Georgian Trade Union Confederation (GTUC) on the application of the Convention. The Confederation denounces employment relations whereby employees working under renewable one-month employment contracts provide their services for more than a year without, however, being eligible for annual paid leave. The GTUC also states that there are numerous cases where employees are dismissed before they make use of their annual leave entitlement and their employers refuse to pay remuneration in respect of the unused portion of their holidays in the absence of an express legislative provision to this effect. The Committee requests the Government to transmit any comments it may wish to make in reply to the observations of the GTUC.
