Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Working Conditions (Hotels and Restaurants) Convention, 1991 (No. 172) - Cyprus (Ratification: 1997)

The Committee notes with interest the information supplied in the Government’s first report. It requests the Government to provide information on the following points.

Article 5(3) of the Convention. The Committee notes that by virtue of section 10, paragraph 2, of the Regulations concerning hotel employees (conditions of work), 1972, as amended in 1978, and section 5 of the Regulations concerning employees of amusement centres (conditions of work), workers are entitled to annual leave with pay, provided their period of service exceeds one year, whereas workers whose period of service is less than one year but who meet or have met the requirements for the granting of annual leave with pay are entitled to paid leave of proportional length. The Committee recalls that in cases where their contract expires or their period of continuous service is not of sufficient duration to qualify them for full annual leave, the workers concerned should be entitled to paid leave proportionate to the length of service or payment of wages in lieu, in accordance with the provisions of this Article. Consequently, the Committee asks the Government to specify the requirements for granting of paid leave to workers whose period of service is not of sufficient duration to qualify them for full annual leave, and to indicate whether workers are entitled to payment of wages in lieu in case they did not meet such requirements.

Part V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply information as to the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, if possible, statistical data concerning the activities of labour inspection services reporting the number and nature of infringements registered.
