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

That provision is intended to avoid the loss of or reduction in rights derived from an employment relationship, to which workers are entitled when they start parental leave, and to ensure that, at the end of that leave, they will find themselves in the same situation as when it started. The Court has ruled that the right to paid annual leave is one of the rights derived directly from the employment relationship of every worker. Thus, the entitlement to annual leave accumulated during the period preceding the start of parental leave cannot lapse while being on parental leave (325).
