NO 'USE IT OR LOSE IT' RULE FOR HOLIDAYS

摘要

Under the European Working Time Directive it has been established that workers continue to accrue paid annual leave rights during sickness absences. However the UK's Working Time Regulations require that a formal request is made to take the annual leave. The case of Lamer v Leeds NHS Trust [2012] EWCA Civ 1034 considered whether an absent worker who did not request to take the leave or carry it over had effectively lost the right to it.
