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

Even though a worker on parental leave remains, during that period, a worker for the purposes of EU law, the employment relationship can be suspended pursuant to national law, thus suspending the reciprocal obligations of the parties (326). In such a case ‘the period of parental leave taken by the worker concerned during the reference period cannot be treated as a period of actual work for the purpose of determining that worker’s entitlement to paid annual leave under Article 7 of Directive 2003/88’ (327).
