Sintesi Omnilex

The Federal Administrative Court admitted the defendant's revision. The court found that the case raises a question of fundamental importance concerning the monetary compensation of vacation not taken because of illness during phased retirement in the block model. In particular, it needs clarification when the compensation claim under Art. 7(2) of Directive 2003/88/EC arises and whether it expires 18 months after the end of the leave year even if the employee had no real opportunity to exercise the leave entitlement.

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; admission of revision for fundamental importance: A case is of fundamental importance where clarification is required of unresolved questions of EU law relevant to the outcome, here concerning Art. 7(1) and (2) of Directive 2003/88/EC on monetary compensation for unused annual leave in the context of illness-related non-taking of leave during phased retirement in the block model. The need for clarification exists in particular where it is uncertain when the compensation claim arises and whether an 18-month expiry period applies even if the leave right could in fact not be exercised (consid. 1).

Titelzeile

Zum Anspruch auf finanzielle Abgeltung krankheitsbedingt nicht in Anspruch genommenen Erholungsurlaubs

Gründe

1 Die Revision des Beklagten ist zuzulassen, weil die Rechtssache grundsätzliche Bedeutung im Sinne von § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO hat. Das Revisionsverfahren erscheint geeignet, zur weiteren Klärung der Frage beizutragen, wann der Anspruch auf finanzielle Abgeltung krankheitsbedingt nicht in Anspruch genommenen Erholungsurlaubs aus Art. 7 Abs. 2 der RL 2003/88/EG im Falle einer Altersteilzeit im Blockmodell entsteht und ob der Anspruch auch dann 18 Monate nach dem Ende des Urlaubsjahres erlischt, wenn der Beamte tatsächlich keine Möglichkeit hatte, den ihm mit Art. 7 Abs. 1 der RL 2003/88/EG verliehenen Anspruch auszuüben (vgl. EuGH, Urteil vom 22. November 2011 - Rs C-214/10, KHS - Slg. 2011, I-11757 Rn. 41).

2 Die vorläufige Festsetzung des Streitwerts für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 i.V.m. § 52 Abs. 1 GKG.
