UPDATE: His employer refuses him his leave for 25 years, an employee is compensated 450,000 euros
In breaking news, the following story has emerged from the international scene.
Twenty-five years without vacation pays for itself (literally). Mossadek Ageli, property manager for several decades in the British company Sabtina, obtained payment of 392,000 pounds sterling, or nearly 450,000 euros, for 827 days of untaken leave, reports the British newspaper The Telegraph. The reason for this continuous work for twenty-five years? The employee was the only one, with his assistant, to work full-time in the company and his presence was essential to its proper functioning. Between 1987, when he joined the company, and 1996, he was denied 200 days of leave. A dismissal and everything changed. In 1998, when he understood that he would not be able to take vacation, he and his company agreed that he would be paid for his days not taken. He was thus paid twice 15,000 pounds, or approximately 17,200 euros, in 2001 and 2004. But he received no other payment. It was in 2022, after his dismissal for serious misconduct, during the change of the board of directors, that the situation changed. As of that date, 827 days of leave had still not been paid to him and the company informed him that it would not pay him. Mossadek Ageli took his company to court, which found that he had been “mistreated” because of the “withholding of his payments” and ordered his compensation. He also received 105,000 pounds (approximately 120,000 euros) for his unfair dismissal, the judge considering that the procedure had been marred by numerous problems.
