The European Court of Justice (ECT) has recommended that workers on sick leave should still accrue the statutory pay under the Working Time Regulations but should not be able to choose to take annual leave pay.

In a second case it was suggested that if a worker was absent for an entire leave year, they should be able to take their minimum annual leave on their return to work.
