Key legal question
How unpaid leave for a teacher affects the annual entitlement to vacation and school-free time
Extracted holding
For teachers, the annual 14 weeks of school-free time must be reduced proportionally by the number of school weeks not worked during unpaid leave; where necessary, this is implemented through a salary reduction.
Extracted reasoning
Teachers' working time and free time are specially regulated. Their 14 weeks of school-free time are not equivalent to 14 weeks of pure vacation, but include vacation, compensation for overtime, and training time. A calculation based on school weeks ensures equal treatment regardless of when unpaid leave is taken.
