Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Comoros (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes that draft amendments were to be introduced for discussion in the Legal Council shortly after the meeting of the High Council on Work and Employment, which took place in September 2001, to bring section 132(2) of the Labour Code of 1984 into conformity with Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2, and Article 4 of the Convention, and to bring section 126(3) into conformity with Article 2, paragraph 3(b).

Referring to its previous comments, the Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will soon be in the position to present substantial results ensuring that every person to whom the Convention applies shall be entitled to an annual holiday with pay of at least six working days (Article 2, paragraph 1, and Article 4 of the Convention) and that, consequently, only the part of the holiday which exceeds the minimum duration may be postponed (Article 2, paragraph 4). It further hopes that any illness occurring during holidays shall be excluded from the calculation of annual holidays with pay (Article 2, paragraph 3(b)). Please forward a copy of the corrective legislative measures as soon as they have been adopted.
