Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

Convenio sobre las vacaciones pagadas (revisado), 1970 (núm. 132) - Suecia (Ratificación : 1978)

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee recalls from the Government's first report that exclusions have been made from the provisions concerning holidays for "unsupervised" employees, i.e. employees normally doing work for their employers in their homes or under such conditions that their work cannot be supervised. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate any changes in this respect.

Article 12. The Committee notes that, under the temporary provisions of Act No. 1990:631, employees may abstain from that part of their annual paid holiday which is in excess of 20 days. This measure is designed to counteract a serious labour shortage. It operates where there is a written agreement, and it gives the right to extra accumulated holiday remuneration. The Committee notes that this measure does not seem to be in conformity with the Convention, which calls for the prohibition of agreements to forgo the right to the minimum annual holiday with pay. The Committee hopes the Government will ensure that the Convention is fully applied.
