Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2013, Publicación: 103ª reunión CIT (2014)

Convenio sobre las vacaciones pagadas, 1936 (núm. 52) - Libia (Ratificación : 1962)

Article 2(3) of the Convention. Public holidays and periods of sickness not to be counted in annual leave. The Committee notes that, contrary to the Government’s indications, the Labour Code No. 12 of 2010 contains no explicit provision excluding public holidays and interruptions of attendance at work due to sickness from the calculation of annual holidays with pay. The Committee understands, however, that a new draft Labour Code is currently under preparation with the technical assistance of the International Labour Office, and that section 181 of the draft text expressly provides that public holidays that fall during a period of leave and sick days, provided that a supporting medical certificate is submitted, are not counted as part of the worker’s leave. The Committee hopes that this draft provision, which gives full effect to the requirement of Article 2(3) of the Convention, will be adopted without change, and requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any progress made with regard to the finalization of the new Labour Code.
