Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

The right to paid holidays is a key EU social right and member states must not cut down or limit this right or make it too hard for workers to enforce their rights in a tribunal (KHS AG v Winfried Schulte Case C-214/10). Its purpose is to protect health, safety and welfare through adequate rest (Pereda v Madrid Movilidad SA [2009] IRLR 959).
