Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

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

The Committee notes the comments of the National Confederation of Trade Union Unity (CNUS) and the Autonomous Confederation of Workers’ Unions (CASC) of 13 December 2013. The CNUS and the CASC indicate that, pursuant to section 177(2) of the Labour Code as interpreted by the Supreme Court, workers with more than five years of service receive wages corresponding to 18 days of holidays, whereas their annual holiday only lasts 14 days, which is similar to workers with less than five years of service. The Committee requests the Government to provide any comments in this regard.
