Resumo Omnilex

The case concerned sickness daily allowances paid while the employer was on vacation shutdown and the worker was sick. The question was whether this created overcompensation because the worker later received monetary compensation for unused vacation days at the end of employment. The court held that there was no overindemnification in that situation.

Sumário Omnilex

Art. 78 al. 2 LAMal; overindemnification and coordination of sickness daily allowances with vacation compensation: sickness daily allowances paid during a company vacation shutdown do not constitute overcompensation merely because the insured person subsequently receives payment for vacation days not taken at the end of the employment relationship. The decisive point is that the two payments compensate different temporal and functional interests; the later vacation indemnity does not retroactively transform the earlier daily allowances into an excess benefit.
