Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Faroe Islands

Article 2(3)(b) of the Convention. Interruptions of attendance at work due to sickness not to be included in annual leave. The Committee recalls its previous comment in which it noted that as it presently reads, the Holiday with Pay Act of 1986 does not contain any specific provision to ensure that days of incapacity due to illness are not counted as part of the annual paid leave. In its reply, the Government indicates that it is currently considering this matter and that legislative changes will be made, if deemed necessary, to ensure that interruptions of attendance at work due to sickness are not to be included in the annual leave, as required under this Article of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed on any further developments in this respect.
