Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

Articles 2 and 6 of the Convention. Right to annual holidays with pay. The Committee notes the Government’s reply to the observations made by the Georgian Trade Unions Confederation (GTUC), alleging widespread violations of the workers’ right to annual paid leave. It notes with regret that the Government confines itself to restating the relevant provisions of the Labour Code without however giving any useful indications as to the extent of infringements in the enjoyment of the right to annual leave or the actions taken or envisaged to enhance conformity with the Convention. The Committee recalls that formal legislative conformity alone is not sufficient to constitute satisfactory compliance with the Convention, when the relevant laws and regulations are not enforced in practice. The Committee expresses the hope that the Government will take all necessary measures to fully implement and effectively enforce the Convention and requests it to take due account of all the points raised in its previous comments.
