Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

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

Articles 1 and 8 of the Convention. Right to annual holidays with pay. The Committee notes the Government’s report of 2004 and its statement that section 63(6) of the Draft Employment Act will provide that any agreement to relinquish the right to minimum annual holiday will be null and void. The Committee hopes that the Act will be adopted in the near future, bringing section 12(a) of Government Notice No. 888, which it has repeatedly highlighted as being in need of amendment, into conformity with the Convention. It requests the Government to provide a copy of the full text of the revised legislation as soon as it is adopted.

The Committee also takes note of the request by the Government for technical assistance from the Office.
