Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - Slovakia (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes 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 2009 direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

The Committee notes the Government’s report received in November 2008. The Government recalls the provisions of the Labour Code giving effect to the Convention. In particular, it refers to the employer’s obligation to take measures aimed at the continuing education and training of employees as well as the improvement of their qualifications in consultation with workers’ representatives. The Government also refers to the duty of individual employees to increase their qualifications so as to enhance their working performance (sections 153 and 154, paragraph 3, of the Labour Code). The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report relevant regulatory texts and documentation such as reports, studies, inquiries and statistics allowing it to appreciate the application of the Convention in practice both in private and in the public sectors (Part V of the report form).
