Paid time off after a period of judicial turbulence

Abstract

The first half of 2020 has been especially prolific in Supreme Court rulings on paid leave. Even the Court of Justice of the European Union has had the oppor­tunity to rule on a preliminary ruling raised by the National Court in relation to this institution. Most of these resolutions have their origin in a debate bet­ween the National Court and the Supreme Court regarding the way of calcula­ting the paid leave. The firmness and reiteration of the criterion of the Supreme Court in several judgments issued in March justifies the need to analyze the jurisprudential lines that have emerged from the debate, also highlighting other jurisprudential advances in the matter of remuneration.
