(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ The em­ploy­er must pay the em­ploy­ee the full salary due for the hol­i­day en­ti­tle­ment and fair com­pens­a­tion for any lost be­ne­fits in kind.

² Dur­ing the em­ploy­ment re­la­tion­ship, the hol­i­day en­ti­tle­ment may not be re­placed by mon­et­ary pay­ments or oth­er be­ne­fits.

³ If while on hol­i­day, the em­ploy­ee car­ries out paid work for a third party which harms the em­ploy­er’s le­git­im­ate in­terests, the em­ploy­er may re­fuse to pay the salary due for the hol­i­days con­cerned and may re­claim any salary already paid.
