Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - Azerbaijan (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes with interest the Government's first report on application of the Convention. It notes in particular the provisions of the Act of 19 July 1994 providing the right to leave for workers who are studying.

In order to assess better the effect given in practice to the provisions of the Convention, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report detailed information in reply to each of the questions on the report form. Please also provide examples of collective agreements providing educational leave for the purpose of trade union training as well as any pertinent extracts from reports, studies, surveys or statistics relating to the granting of paid educational leave.
