The first thing to explain to the Italian reader here is that in Germany the notice period cannot normally be compensated, as the employee would otherwise lose his social security cover. The dismissed employee falls ill on receipt of the notice of termination and is therefore unable to take their holiday during the notice period. The LAG (judgement of 30 May 2024, 4 Sa 17/23) leaves no doubt that the employee is entitled to holiday compensation in this case.
