Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Georgia (Ratification: 1993)

Article 6 of the Convention. Monetary compensation for unused leave upon termination of employment. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the latest amendments to the Labour Code which came into force in July 2013, including new section 21(4), which now entitles employees to receive compensation for unused leave when an employment contract is terminated on the initiative of the employer. The Committee requests the Government to clarify whether the Labour Code requires the compensation to be calculated on the basis of the usual leave remuneration.

Articles 7 and 8. Effective enforcement and sanctions. In its previous comment, the Committee expressed the hope that the Government would take steps to restore the operation of the labour inspectorate so as to ensure the effective enforcement of the labour legislation, including with respect to holidays with pay. In its latest report, the Government indicates that it is still in the process of formulating draft legislation on labour safety and hygiene, as well as the statute on the supervision service on labour safety and hygiene. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to take all necessary action to establish an effective supervisory mechanism, such as a labour inspectorate, responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Convention.
