D1b23 - May an employee whose fixed-term contract (CDD) does not cover more than 3 months nevertheless be entitled to annual recreational leave as from the first day of work?

The Labour Code makes it clear that entitlement to leave arises after 3 months of uninterrupted work with the same employer.

It is also provided in the Code that, where the employment contract comes to an end during the year, the employee is entitled to leave at the rate of one-twelfth per complete month of work, that is to say 2.16 days per month for a legally prescribed period of annual leave set at 26 working days per year.
