Russian Government Considers the Draft Federal Law Regarding ILO Paid Leaves Convention

Posted on July 6, 2010 by ALRUD

The draft federal law "On ratification of the Convention N 132 "On paid leaves" of the International Labor Organization" is now under consideration of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The Convention was adopted on June 24, 1970 and stipulates the main rights of individuals on guaranteed annual paid leave. According to the provisions of the Convention, each member of the International Labor Organization upon its ratification is obliged to establish a minimal term of paid annual leave as well as the categories of employees it shall apply to. Therefore the draft federal law on ratification of the Convention envisages that the guaranteed annual paid leave in Russia comprises 28 calendar days and is applicable to the employees both of agricultural and non-agricultural economic sectors.

The currently effective legislation of the Russian Federation complies with the Convention. But the Government intends to ratify it in order to constitute Russian legislation basing on universally recognized norms of labor law which serve as the basis for all national labor laws.
