Following his dismissal, an employee filed a legal action to
recover payment for days he had worked during his vacation. The
employee substantiated the claim by the fact that the employer did
not notify him of the vacation, nor did it issue an order relating
to the vacation. The company claimed that the employee went on
vacation according to the vacation schedule with which he was
acquainted, received vacation pay on time, and no one recalled him
from vacation.
The court upheld the company's legal position.
