Annual leave: Worker's right to payment for untaken holiday survives death
Stadt Wuppertal v Bauer; Willmeroth v Broßonn [2019] IRLR 148 ECJ
annual leave | holiday pay | death of a worker
In Stadt Wuppertal v Bauer; Willmeroth v Broßonn [2019] IRLR 148 ECJ, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) held that a German law that prevents a payment in lieu of a deceased worker's accrued but untaken annual leave from forming part of their estate is incompatible with EU law.
