Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the employee's vacation compensation claim was fully privileged in first-class bankruptcy ranking or only for the part accrued in the last six months before bankruptcy.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The compensatory claim for unused vacation arose only when vacation in kind could no longer be taken, i.e. upon termination; because that occurred within six months before bankruptcy, the entire claim had to be ranked in the first class.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court distinguished between the accrual of the vacation entitlement and the later emergence of a monetary compensation claim. Under the mandatory vacation rules, compensation is generally only possible when vacation in kind is no longer feasible at the end of employment. The relevant date for privilege is thus the emergence of the compensation claim, not a pro rata accrual during employment.
