Abstract

The fact that an employer is a private undertaking, holding a public service delegation, is irrelevant with regard to the right of a worker to paid annual leave. National legislation or national practice which allows requests for paid annual leave made less than 15 months after the end of the reference period and limited to entitlement accrued and not exercised, due to a long-term absence from work due to illness, during two consecutive reference periods to be granted, is not precluded.
