EU Court Voids the German and British Rules Over Paid Sick Leave

UK rules are for people who live in UK and German rules for those who live in Germany.And of you are in EU follow those rules what EU created.

A European Union court gave a judgment which almost meant this and helped many workers of European Union who lost the enjoyment of their paid leaves just because they were sick.

According to the sources, the European Union court has passed this rule in favor of workers who were denied paid leaves just because they fell sick, by their employers. It applies to all the workers of 27 nations in European Union as well as to their employers.

It said that the right to claim a paid leave cannot be eroded just because of the illness of the workers and they must be allowed to take a paid leave in some other period.

But there was a criticism on the judgment saying that this would add up to the present constraints of the employers who are already in lay off spree.
