Question juridique clé
Whether unused vacation had to be compensated in money after the dismissal
Solution extraite
Yes, because in the circumstances the employee could not reasonably be expected to take the remaining vacation in kind before the end of employment.
Motifs extraits
Although vacation is generally not replaceable by money, compensation is allowed where vacation cannot be taken before termination or cannot reasonably be required; the post-dismissal contacts and brief incapacity made vacation-taking impracticable.
