COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Interpretative Communication on Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time · European Union

If the contract has ended, the reason why it ended is irrelevant (303). To ensure the effectiveness of this provision of the Directive, an allowance in lieu of paid annual leave is due also if the worker has asked to end the employment relationship (304), retires (305) or even dies (306). The right to an allowance in lieu is not extinguished upon the worker’s death but forms part of the assets to be inherited by the heirs (307).
