“If an employee falls ill during their vacation, the vacation period is suspended (or does not begin), provided that (i) the employee informs the employer with a medical certificate or statement for this purpose, and (ii) there is no objection to the verification of the illness by Social Security or at the employer’s request.
Once these requirements are met, the days of vacation not taken due to the hindrance will be rescheduled within the same calendar year, by agreement between the employee and employer or, in the absence of agreement, determined by the employer.
If it is not possible to take the vacation in the year of the hindrance, the employee (i) has the right to the vacation pay corresponding to the unused vacation period or (ii) may take the vacation until April 30 of the following year. In either case, the employee receives the corresponding vacation allowance.
The provisions outlined in the previous paragraphs also apply to other situations where the employee is unable to take vacation for reasons not attributable to them, such as following a medical prescription after using medically assisted reproductive techniques, an accident, or fulfilling a legal obligation.”
