35According to the settled case-law on Article 119 of the Treaty, the concept of ‘pay’, within the meaning of Article 141 EC and Article 1 of Directive 75/117, comprises any other consideration, whether in cash or in kind, whether immediate or future, provided that the worker receives it, albeit indirectly, in respect of his employment from his employer. The fact that certain benefits are paid after the termination of the employment relationship does not prevent them from being in the nature of pay within the meaning of the abovementioned provisions (see, in particular, Barber, cited above, paragraph 12; and Case C-167/97 Seymour-Smith and Perez [1999] ECR I-623, paragraphs 23 and 24).
