The court found that the employer could legally require the use of current vacation during a three-month notice period, but the plaintiff's claim for equivalent pay for unused leave was incorrect. Furthermore, the court rejected procedural arguments regarding the statute of limitations and the amendment of the claim, ruling that the plaintiff could not have filed suit earlier with the correct basis.
