Novejša sodna praksa Sodišča Evropske unije in slovenskega Vrhovnega sodišča glede delovnega časa in letnega dopusta

Rataj, Primož (author)

Prispevek se osredotoča na novejše pomembnejše primere, ki sta jih na področju delovnega časa in letnega dopusta v preteklih letih obravnavala Sodišče Evropske unije (2021-2026) ter slovensko Vrhovno sodišče (2025-2026). Natančneje gre za primere, povezane z razmejevanjem med delovnim časom in počitkom, časom prevoza kot delu delovnega časa, merjenjem delovnega časa, ločenosti dnevnega in tedenskega počitka, izravnavanjem ur v referenčnem obdobju, horizontalnem učinku direktive in obdobju za prenos letnega dopusta, (ne) povezanosti dopusta z obdobjem izolacije, načinu prenehanja pogodbe o zaposlitvi in vprašanju možnosti dejanske izrabe letnega dopusta s strani zaposlenega, ter primerov o letnem dopustu, povezanih s protipravnim ravnanjem delodajalca, tako z vidika standarda skrbnosti delodajalca, da delavca postavi v položaj, ko dopust lahko izrabi, (ne)relevantnosti zastaralnega roka, kot tudi glede dopusta v povezavi z nezakonito odpovedjo pogodbe o zaposlitvi.

Abstract

The contribution discusses recent case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (2021-2026) and the Supreme Court of Slovenia (2025-2026) concerning issues of working time and annual leave. More specifically, it concerns cases dealing with delineation between working time and a period of rest, time of travel as part of working time, measuring working time, separation of daily and weekly periods of rest, offsetting working hours in a reference period, horizontal direct effect of the directive and the CFREU, the transfer period of annual leave, (dis) connection of annual leave to a period of quarantine, (ir)relevancy of the reasons for employment contract termination, to cases of annual leave grounded in employer’s non-compliance with their standard of care to put workers in a position to actually make use of their annual leave, whether annual leave compensation claims may be time-barred, as well as to consequences of unlawful dismissal in relation to annual leave.
