Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970

Okay sweetie, let me explain what the Holidays with Pay Convention (revised), 1970 is all about.

Do you know what a convention is? No worries, it's just another word for a meeting where people from different places come together to talk about a specific thing. In this case, it's about holidays and how workers get paid during their time off.

The convention was held in 1970, a long time ago. Back then, some countries didn't have laws that required employers to give their workers paid time off for holidays. This could be really tough for workers who needed to take time off but couldn't afford to lose out on their pay.

So, the people at the convention got together to agree on some rules that would help workers get paid when they take time off for holidays. These rules apply to both full-time and part-time workers, and they make sure that workers get paid their normal wage or salary for the time they're off.

But it's not just about getting paid. The convention also says that countries should make sure their workers get a certain number of holidays per year. In many countries, this is around 10 or more days of paid time off.

This is really important because everyone needs a break sometimes! It helps us rest and recharge, so we can come back to work feeling better and ready to be productive again.

So, that's what the Holidays with Pay Convention (revised), 1970 is all about. It's a set of rules that make sure workers get paid time off for holidays and a break to rest and recharge.
