Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132) - Czechia (Ratification: 1996)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 9 of the Convention. Postponement or accumulation of annual holidays. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction that by Act No. 365/2011 Coll., sections 218 and 222 of the Labour Code have been amended and now provide that where leave cannot be taken until the end of the subsequent calendar year because the employee has been recognized as temporarily unfit for work, the employer shall grant such leave after the termination of the employee’s incapacity to work. The Committee notes the Government’s explanations that Act No. 365/2011 Coll. was adopted with a view to improving the position of employees in cases where paid leave cannot be taken in the calendar year in which it falls due, and guarantees that the right to leave does not expire by the mere lapse of time.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
