Vacant leave right converts to monetary equivalent upon termination, starting the statute of limitations for the claim.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a dispute over unused vacation leave between an employee and his employer. The court clarified that the right to vacation leave in kind transforms into a monetary equivalent on the day the employment relationship ends, at which point the statute of limitations for the monetary claim begins to run. Consequently, the court held that the employee's claim for the monetary equivalent was valid, while his separate claim for the leave itself was time-barred as it had already expired.
