The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2013 in response to the 2009 direct request. The Government emphasizes that the Basic Act on labour and men and women workers (LOTTT), issued in May 2012, provides for the award of educational grants by employers which have over 200 workers, apprenticeships for persons between 14 and 18 years of age, internships for students as part of their training and the organization by the employer of technical and technological training courses on the operations of the productive process. The Government indicates that, where the educational leave is to undertake studies, when the worker does not have to work in the firm for a certain period of the day, it is treated as one of the grounds for the suspension of the employment relationship laid down in section 72(h) of the LOTTT. The Committee notes that section 72 of the LOTTT, under certain conditions, exempts the employer from paying wages where the employment relationship is suspended. The Committee recalls that the expression “paid educational leave” means leave granted to workers with “adequate financial entitlements” (Article 1 of the Convention). The Committee invites the Government to indicate in its next report cases in which the LOTTT provides for the granting of paid educational leave, within the meaning of the Convention. Please also describe how a policy to promote the granting of educational leave has been drawn up and provide texts related to the preparation of that policy.
