ECJ versus BAG: New rules of the game in vacation transmission
With the judgment of January 20, 2009, the ECJ ended the BAG's longstanding case law on the limitation and transfer of the statutory vacation entitlement (ECJ 20.1.09, C-350/06, call-no. 090312). Due to a submission of the LAG Düsseldorf and a British court, the ECJ dealt with the interpretation of the European Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) in the "Schultz-Hoff" (C-350/06) and "Stringer UA" (C-520/06), in which the paid minimum vacation entitlement is also specified. You can find the contribution by Ra Dirk Helge Laskawy and Ra Eileen Rehfeld on the judgment of the ECJ here .
