Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Sickness Insurance (Industry) Convention, 1927 (No. 24) - North Macedonia (Ratification: 1991)

Article 2(1) of the Convention (in conjunction with Article 3). Right of apprentices to cash sickness benefits. Section 13 of the Law on Health Insurance does not expressly recognize the right to apprentices to a cash benefit for at least the first 26 weeks of incapacity due to sickness. The Committee requests the Government to indicate how the national legislation ensures that apprentices benefit from compulsory sickness insurance in accordance with the relevant provisions mentioned above and to provide the relevant normative texts in this respect. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the questions it raises under the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102).
