Attorney at law, Ms.  Hussain-Hämäläinen, wins against Deutsche Lufthansa AG

I had already reported in this blog about a lawsuit of my client against Deutsche Lufthansa AG.

We had, among other things, sued for payment of vacation compensation. After my client’s parental leave ended, the parties concluded a termination agreement with the cancellation of the notice period. In this contract, Lufthansa AG claimed that outstanding vacation had been taken already. That wasn’t possible at all. There wasn’t even a single working day between the end of parental leave and the conclusion of the termination agreement.

Since the vacation accrued during parental leave was not granted, we sued for payment of vacation compensation. In the lawsuit at the Frankfurt am Main labor court, Deutsche Lufthansa AG claimed that it had reduced the vacation accrued during parental leave. She just couldn’t prove it. My client never received the letter claimed by Deutsche Lufthansa AG.

Consequently, the Frankfurt am Main labor court yesterday sentenced Deutsche Lufthansa AG to pay a mid-four-figure amount in vacation compensation.

The verdict is not yet legally binding.
