Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee has previously noted that national legislation (section 130 of the Labour Code and section 5 of Order No. 931 FPT/DGTLS of 1 October 1976) lays down that collective agreements may, with the agreement of the worker, provide for the postponement of the holiday. Furthermore, under clause 55, paragraph 4, of the interoccupational agreement of 9 July 1974, entitlement to the annual holiday can be allowed to accumulate over two years. The Committee has pointed out that, under the Convention, a part of the holiday consisting of at least two uninterrupted working weeks must be taken each year. It has asked that measures be taken to bring national provisions into conformity with the Convention. Unfortunately, the Committee notes from the Government's most recent report, that the situation remains the same. The Committee would be glad if the Government would now indicate the measures taken or proposed to guarantee all workers the necessary protection, and provide full information in its next report.
