Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Holidays with Pay Convention, 1936 (No. 52) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no new information in reply to its previous comments. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes with regret that no progress has so far been made in giving effect to Article 2 of the Convention. It recalls that section 129(2) of the Labour Code provides that the length of service entitling workers to holiday can be of up to two or two-and-a-half years in the case of an individual contract or collective agreement, whereas under Article 2 of the Convention, every person to whom this Convention applies is entitled after one year of continuous service to an annual holiday with pay of at least six working days. It also recalls that in 1980 a draft Decree was drawn up with the assistance of the ILO, providing for the amendment of section 129 of the Code so that persons covered by the Convention may benefit from a minimum holiday with pay every year. In its last report, the Government indicates that the draft, which has again been updated, is still before the competent legislative authorities. The Committee trusts that the draft will be adopted in the very near future, in accordance with the Government's assurances.
