On September 13, the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation) handed down four rulings on vacation entitlement, laying down new rules on the acquisition of paid leave by sick employees, the deferral of paid leave by employees on parental leave, and the starting point for the statute of limitations.
These decisions are based on European Union law and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, and in part set aside the French Labor Code. A real turnaround for companies in France. An update from Alexandra Stocki, partner at Proskauer Rose Llp.
