Vacation Approved but Spent on Strike—German Labor Court Denies Pay and Leave
In its ruling of January 29, 2026 (Ref. No. 4 SLa 290/24), Germany’s Saxony Regional Labor Court (Landesarbeitsgericht (LAG)) held that a lawful strike supersedes previously approved vacation leave, meaning that participating employees may receive no pay for that period and may forfeit the corresponding vacation days—a decision with particular relevance for employers facing prolonged periods of industrial action.
