Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Dominican Republic (Ratification: 1956)

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to provide general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, in particular, extracts from reports of the inspection services and, if possible, details of the number of workers covered by the relevant legislation, the number and nature of violations reported and any follow-up action taken, etc.

The Committee takes this opportunity to recall that, following the proposal of the Working Party on Policy regarding the Revision of Standards, the ILO Governing Body considered that Convention No. 52 is outdated and invited the States parties to this Convention to envisage the possibility of ratifying the Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132), which is not considered to be fully up to date but remains relevant in certain respects (see document GB.283/LILS/WP/PRS/1/2, paragraph 12). The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any decisions taken or envisaged in this regard and recalls that it may, if it so wishes, seek technical assistance from the Office with regard to the legislative amendments necessary as a result of the possible ratification of Convention No. 132.
