Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140) - Chile (Ratification: 1999)

The Committee notes the information sent by the Government in October 2013 on the number of persons who took part in training activities during working hours in the period from 2009 to 2012. The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will continue to provide up-to-date information on workers who have been granted paid educational leave, together with other relevant information allowing an assessment of how the measures taken affect coordination of the national policy on paid educational leave with general policies concerning employment, education, training and hours of work (Article 4 of the Convention). Please also supply up-to-date information on the conditions to be fulfilled by workers in order to be granted paid educational leave, the length of the leave and the level of the financial entitlements (Articles 2, 3 and 10).
