Summary:
In March 2004, while on claim, the claimant received a vacation pay accumulated in the year 2003 and paid on anniversary under the collective agreement. In 2003, the claimant had taken vacation leave under the Canadian Labour Code, without pay. The Umpire states that, as established by jurisprudence, to hold that the vacation time taken by the claimant could not be taken into consideration in allocating her vacation pay would be against the purpose and objective of subsection 36(8) of the Regulations. He concluded that the claimant's vacation pay paid in March 2004 is to be allocated to the periods she took as unpaid holidays in 2003.
