Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Slovakia (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee asks the Government to provide further information on the following point.

Article 2, paragraph 3(a), of the Convention. According to sections 1 and 2 of Act No. 241/1993, certain public holidays are regarded as annual holidays. On the other hand, section 112(3) of the Labour Code (Act 311/2001, as amended by Act 165/2002), prohibits to count as annual holidays only public holidays falling on a day which otherwise would be a normal working day. The Committee points out that, according to Article 2, paragraph 3(a), of the Convention, the prohibition to include any public and customary holidays, whether falling on usual working days or not, in the annual holidays with pay is absolute. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the public holidays provided for under Act No. 241/1993 are holidays to be granted in addition to the minimum annual holidays with pay (section 103(1) of the Labour Code). If so, please adjust the relevant legislation, or, if not, please indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure full compliance with the Convention in this respect.
