Article 8 of the Convention. Division of annual holiday with pay in parts. The Committee notes the Government’s information that, by virtue of the Resolution of 28 December 2012 of the Public Administration State Secretariat, public employees are entitled to 22 days of annual holiday with pay which may be taken in minimum periods of five consecutive days. The Committee observes, in this regard, that under Article 8 of the Convention, the possible division of the annual holiday into parts may be authorized by the competent authority, provided that one of the parts consists of at least two uninterrupted working weeks, unless otherwise provided in an agreement applicable to the employer and the worker. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to take the necessary measures to bring the above referenced Resolution into full conformity with the requirements of this Article of the Convention.
