Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Gabon (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 reads as follows:

The Committee notes that under section 188 of Act No. 3/94 of 21 November 1994 constituting the Labour Code, the application for holiday must be made within two years from the date at which the maximum duration of service gives entitlement to the holiday except in the event of force majeure or fault by the employer. The Committee recalls that in accordance with the Convention every person to whom the Convention applies shall be entitled to an annual holiday of at least six working days (Article 2(1) and Article 4 of the Convention) and only the part of the holiday exceeding this minimum duration may be postponed (Article 2(4)).

The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that workers enjoy an annual holiday with pay of at least six working days.
