Employee Vacation Payout During Garden Leave
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe court addressed whether an employee, immediately placed on garden leave after termination, is entitled to compensation for untaken vacation days occurring during that leave period, considering the statutory prohibition against monetary compensation for vacation during employment. The court reasoned that while the general rule prohibits paying out vacation during the notice period, this must yield to the employee's right, pursuant to Art. 329 para. 3 OR, to take necessary time off for job searching, which takes precedence over taking vacation. Consequently, if the duration of the garden leave remaining after accounting for sickness and allocated vacation days does not "very strongly exceed" the remaining vacation entitlement such that all vacation could not reasonably be taken, the remaining untaken vacation days must be paid out because the employee's right to seek new employment limits the employer's ability to mandate vacation usage during the notice period.
