Resumen
According to the Austrian Law on Rest Periods and Public Holidays (arg), Good Friday is a paid public holiday only for members of any one of four identified churches (the Evangelical Churches of the Augsburg and Helvetic Confessions, the Old Catholic Church and the United Methodist Church). 1 Members of those churches are entitled to either a paid public holiday that day or an indemnity in addition to their normal salary if they work. Because the claimant Achatzi is not a member of one of those churches, he was not entitled to a paid public holiday and did not receive an indemnity from his employer, Cresco Investigation GmbH, for working.
