European Sick Leave Ruling
If a worker becomes unfit for work during a period of paid holiday, they are entitled to take paid time off at a later date to compensate, the European Court of Justice has ruled. In the case of Association Nacional de Grandes Empresas de Distribution (ANGED) v Federación de Asociacones Sindicales (FASGA) and others (C-78/11) the court decided that the entitlement applies irrespective of the point at which the incapacity for work occurred.
