Short-time work has now been a feature of everyday working life for many employees and companies for a good year. Nevertheless, it was disputed for a long time to what extent vacation entitlements are reduced proportionately for employees who are on short-time work “zero”. In particular, the question of whether vacation entitlements are automatically reduced during short-time work or whether this requires an explicit provision in the employment contract or in a company agreement was unresolved. The Düsseldorf Higher Labor Court (LAG Düsseldorf) has now ruled on this issue in its decision of March 12, 2021, Case No. 6 Sa 824/20.
