The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Article 7 of the Convention. Holiday pay. The Committee notes that the Labour Relations Law does not seem to contain any provision expressly requiring the payment of holiday pay in advance of the holiday. The Committee requests the Government to specify how effect is given to this Article of the Convention.
Articles 11 and 12. Compensation in lieu of unused leave upon termination of employment – Prohibition to relinquish or forgo the right to holiday. The Committee notes the Government’s reference to section 145 of the Labour Relations Law, as last amended in 2009, which provides that an employee is entitled to cash compensation for any unused part of annual leave at the end of the employment relationship. The Committee recalls, in this connection, earlier comments made by the Federation of Trade Unions of Macedonia (CCM) alleging that the labour legislation gives the right to employers to dispense with workers’ right to annual leave and replace it with minimal cash compensation. The Committee therefore requests the Government to confirm that replacing holiday entitlement with cash compensation is prohibited except in the event of termination of employment.
