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

Holidays with Pay (Agriculture) Convention, 1952 (No. 101) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1961)

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:

Articles 1 and 8 of the Convention. The Committee notes that in practice in most cases workers request, and are granted, leave each year. The Committee recalls that section 12(a) of the agreement applicable (Government Notice No. 888 of 5 December 1980) permits deferment of annual leave for two years or longer. It stresses the importance of bringing the national provisions into conformity with the requirements of the Convention, and reiterates the hope that the Government will take appropriate measures to this effect.
