Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1988, published 75th ILC session (1988)

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

Articles 1 and 8 of the Convention. With reference to the previous direct requests, the Committee notes the Government's statement that in practice in most cases workers request, and are granted, leave each year. The Committee recalls that section 12(a) of the agreement applicable (Government Notice No. 888 of 5 December 1980) permits deferment of annual leave for two years or longer. It stresses the importance of bringing the national provisions into conformity with the requirements of the Convention, and reiterates the hope that the Government will take appropriate measures to this effect.
