Previous comment

Legislative developments. The Committee notes that a new Employment Act No. 15 was adopted in 2023, which includes provisions with regards to annual holidays with pay. The Government indicates in its report that the Regulation of Wages and Industrial Relations Act 1971 and the Employment Act 2023 generally confer the right to leave to all workers annually. In addition, in its previous reports, the Government referred to several Public Notices issued under the Regulation of Wages and Industrial Relations Act 1971 which provided for detailed rules regarding the paid annual leave for agricultural workers (Public Notice No. 35 of 1961, Public Notice No. 881 of 1974, Government Notice No. 888 of 1980). The Committee requests the Government to specify whether the above-cited Public Notices are still in force. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate whether any new Public Notices containing provisions on annual paid holidays for agricultural workers have been issued, and if so, to transmit copies. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on any legislative development.
