The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2024, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.
Repetition
Articles 2, 3 and 6 of the Convention. Policy for the promotion of paid educational leave and the participation of social partners. The Committee notes the Government’s reply to its previous direct request in which it reiterates that sections 78, 79 and 80 of the Labour Code adopted in 2007 provide for the payment of wages to workers who require leave for training purposes during working hours. The Government’s report also draws attention to section 17 of the Civil Servants Law which stipulates the right to in-service training for workers; and to section 11 of the regulation on scholarships and overseas education which stipulates that the administration or employer is obliged to provide the full wages and other privileges of the employees for the period of training or education. The Committee notes that these provisions are applicable for public and private sector employees and the application of the provisions are monitored by the labour inspection department of the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Martyrs and Disabled. It also notes the Government’s indication that there were no statistics available in this regard. The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report extracts of any policy documents that give effect to the Convention. It also invites the Government to provide any useful documentation, such as reports, studies and statistics that will allow it to gain an appreciation of the involvement of the social partners in the application of the Convention in practice (Part V of the report form).
