Moreover, a few collective agreements contain additional rates.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion on the Good Friday was triggered by an employee, who worked on a Good Friday and demanded additional salary for the worked hours, although he was neither evangelic nor old catholic. As the employer refused to pay, the employee sued.<\/p>\n<p>The European Court of Justice judged in favor of the employee and determined that the current regulation in Austria is against the principle of equal treatment, as members of certain denominations are privileged.<\/p>\n<p>In the last few weeks the Good Friday was intensively discussed in Austria.
