Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - Hungary (Ratification: 1975)

1. The Committee notes that Order No. 18/1986 of the State Wages and Labour Office (SWLO), published on 17 December 1986, amended Order No. 6/1981 of the SWLO, specifying the conditions under which average wages are due to workers on educational leave. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would describe the impact of Order No. 18 on paid educational leave in the country.

2. The Committee notes that, following comments made by the Hungarian Union of Agricultural and Forestry Workers, the Government has no plans to abolish educational leave for trade union officials participating in trade union training courses. The Committee asks the Government to indicate what steps it has taken to promote the granting of paid educational leave for trade union education, as required by Article 2(c) of the Convention, and any difficulties arising.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1992.]
