Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132) - Germany (RATIFICATION: 1975)

The Committee notes with interest from the Government's latest report, that the Federal Holidays Act has been amended by section 2 of the Hours of Work Act of 6 June 1994, granting all workers throughout the Federal Republic of Germany a minimum holiday of 24 working days. It also notes the detailed information contained in the Government's report on the duration of leave for various categories of workers under collective agreements.

With reference to its previous direct request, the Committee further notes the Government's indication in its report that the matter of clarification on the practical application of Article 11 of the Convention, will be dealt with after the Federal Parliamentary Elections held in October 1994. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate any more recent developments in this respect.

The Government is asked to report in detail in 1996.
