Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Myanmar (Ratification: 1954)

Article 2 of the Convention. Annual holidays with pay. The Committee notes that the Government’s report again refers to the provisions of the Leave and Holidays Act, 1951, as last amended by Act No. 6/2006, without providing any specific replies to the Committee’s previous comments. The Committee is therefore bound to once more ask the Government: (i) to take measures for the timely revision of section 4(3) of the Leave and Holidays Act, which allows for the accumulation of holidays over a period of three years (Article 2(1) and (4)); and (ii) to bring in line with the Convention, section 4(1) of the Leave and Holidays Act, which provides for ten consecutive days of paid leave for those workers who have completed 12 years of service but still does not provide for at least 12 working days of leave for young workers under 16 years of age (Article 2(2)). In addition, noting the Government’s statement that the Leave and Holidays Act is being reviewed and amended in line with the Convention, the Committee asks the Government to provide concrete information regarding the legislative reform currently in progress and the manner in which the above comments have been taken into account.
