Ivorian Public Service: Clarification on Leave Durations and Absence Permissions

Bamba Ange Armel Yomy, Deputy Secretary General of the MGECI, clarified the rights and obligations of Ivorian civil servants regarding leaves and absences. Civil servants are entitled to a paid annual leave of 30 days, as well as sick leave, maternity leave (24 weeks), paternity leave (30 days), and family event permissions, with durations and conditions varying according to regulations. Proper knowledge of administrative procedures is essential to legally benefit from these absences and avoid administrative consequences.
