Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132) - Latvia (Ratification: 1994)

The Committee notes with interest the Government's first report on the application of the Convention and the detailed information it contains. It asks the Government to supply further information on the following points.

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information that the Convention applies to all employment contracts and to all employees and employers under section 5 of the Labour Code. It notes however that section 252 of the Labour Code provides for different regulations governing the hours of work and periods of holiday which may be adopted for certain listed branches of the economy. The Government is requested to indicate if any regulations have been implemented in pursuance of this section.

Article 4. Recalling that under this Article of the Convention a holiday with pay proportionate to length of service must be granted to all employees whose length of service in any year is less than that required for the full entitlement to annual holiday with pay, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the manner in which effect is given to this provision by national legislation or other measures.
