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

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Mali (Ratification: 1968)

Article 2(3) of the Convention. Exclusion of absence from work due to sickness from the annual holiday with pay. The Committee again wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the fact that under Article 2(3) of the Convention, absences from work due to sickness must not be counted in the duration of annual holidays, which means that, if a worker falls ill immediately before or during an annual holiday with pay, he/she should not be deprived of any part of the holiday entitlement on account of his/her temporary incapacity, but should be entitled to make use of it at a later date. The Committee therefore requests the Government to contemplate adopting measures to ensure that absences from work due to sickness are not deducted from the annual holiday to which the worker is entitled, and to continue to provide information in this regard.
