2020/40 Holiday entitlement in the release phase of partial retirement according to the so-called ‘block model’ (GE)
The Federal Labour Court of Germany (Bundesarbeitsgericht, “BAG”) had to decide on a case in which an employee claimed vacation entitlements for the release phase of a partial retirement scheme. Because the employee was released from his work obligation during the release phase of the partial retirement under the so-called ‘block model’ he was not entitled to statutory leave so that the lawsuit was unsuccessful in the final instance.
