Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the reduction of the paid-out holiday balance during the notice period violated Art. 329(3), 329c and 329d OR.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No violation. Given the six-month notice period, the exemption from duties, and the employee's age and lack of concrete job-search efforts, the ordered leave during the notice period was permissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
Holiday must generally be taken in kind, including during the notice period, unless taking leave is impossible or unreasonable. The court held that the employee had enough time for leave, did not show specific job-search efforts, and did not demonstrate any reason to disregard the employer's leave schedule.
