Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Lebanon (Ratification: 1962)

The Government indicates that it intends to redraft the Labour Code in line with the Convention by including provisions: (a) on the need of gradually increasing the duration of annual paid holiday with the length of service (Article 2, paragraph 5); (b) ensuring that public and customary holidays as well as interruptions of attendance at work due to sickness and other specified reasons are not counted as part of the annual holiday (Article 2, paragraph 3(a) and (b)); and (c) entitling persons under 18 years of age after one year of continuous service to an annual holiday with pay of 21 days (Article 2, paragraph 2). Please keep the Office informed on any developments in this respect.

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest that Order No. 155/1 of 28 July 2000, which was supplied with the Government’s report, requires the employer to keep a special record showing not only the date of entry into his service of each person employed and the duration of the annual holidays with pay to which each person is entitled (Article 7(a) of the Convention), and the dates at which the annual paid holiday is taken by each person (Article 7(b) of the Convention), but also the remuneration received by each person in respect of the period of his annual holidays with pay (Article 7(c) of the Convention).

Referring to its previous comments, the Committee requests the Government to supply a specimen of any model record approved by the competent authority.
