In Pereda v Madrid Movilidad SA [2009] IRLR 959 ECJ, the ECJ held that art.7(1) of the Working Time Directive must be interpreted as precluding national provisions or collective agreements that deny a worker who is on sick leave during a period of scheduled annual leave the right to take the annual leave at a later time, even if this is outside the holiday year in which the annual leave was accrued.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has held that the Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) must be interpreted as precluding national provisions or collective agreements that provide that a worker who is on sick leave during a period of annual leave scheduled in his or her employer's annual leave planning schedule does not have the right, after his or her recovery, to take annual leave at a time other than that originally scheduled, if necessary outside the corresponding reference period laid down by national law.
