Holidays with Pay (Agriculture) Convention, 1952 (No. 101) - Sierra Leone (RATIFICATION: 1961)

The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2020, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.

Repetition

Articles 1 and 8 of the Convention. Right to annual holidays with pay. The Committee notes the statement in the Government’s last report that section 63(6) of the draft Employment Act would provide that any agreement to relinquish the right to minimum annual holiday would be null and void. The Committee hopes that the Act will be adopted in the near future, bringing section 12(a) of Government Notice No. 888, which the Committee has repeatedly highlighted as being in need of amendment into conformity with the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the full text of the revised legislation as soon as it is adopted.
