Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132) - Madagascar (Ratification: 1972)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee wishes to point out that under Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention at least a part of the holiday (generally two weeks) must be taken no later than one year, from the end of the year in respect of which the holiday entitlement has arisen and that, consequently, section 5 of Decree No. 60-124 of 1 June 1960, under which officials may have their entitlement to annual leave postponed for two successive years in order to be entitled after three years of uninterrupted service to an accumulated holiday, is not in conformity with this provision of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the necessary measures will be taken in the near future to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention on this point.
