Articles 7 and 11 of the Convention. Payment of the normal or average remuneration before the annual holiday. Unused leave upon termination of employment. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that a draft labour law is under preparation in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it is expected to include specific provisions on the calculation of holiday pay (Article 7(1)) and cash compensation for any unused leave upon termination of employment (Article 11). The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any progress made in this respect and to transmit a copy of the amended labour law once it has been adopted. The Committee also requests the Government to provide a copy of the general collective agreement of the Republika Srpska.

Moreover, the Committee notes the comments of the Confederation of Trade Unions of Republika Srpska according to which, in some cases, workers are not allowed to take their annual paid holiday on the grounds of an increased volume of work, until the seventh month of the following year, at which time the holiday may no longer be taken according to the regulations. The Confederation also refers to annual surveys it has been conducting, the latest of which shows that one in every three workers employed in manufacturing industries did not use the full period of annual leave and that 85 per cent of these workers used their holiday to work and increase their income. The Confederation denounces the harmful effect of such practices on the workers’ health and calls for the strengthening of enforcement mechanisms in this respect. The Committee requests the Government to transmit any comments it may wish to make in reply to the observations of the Confederation of Trade Unions of Republika Srpska.
