Type: Judgment

Authority: European Authorities: Euopean Union' Court of Justice

Date: 12/20/2017

Subject: The Court affirmed that the concept of ‘employment conditions’ includes the right for a worker who has been elected to a parliamentary role to benefit from special service leave, provided for by national legislation, under which the employment relationship is suspended such that the worker’s job and his entitlement to promotion are guaranteed until the end of that parliamentary term of office. The Court also affirmed that the Framework Agreement precludes legislation that, like the legislation at issue, absolutely precludes granting a fixed-term worker leave, so that he may hold political office, during which the employment relationship is suspended until reinstatement of that worker at the end of their term of office, when that right is conferred on permanent workers
