35According to settled case-law of the Court, the concept of pay used in Article 11 of that directive, like the definition in the first subparagraph of Article 141(2) EC, encompasses the consideration paid directly or indirectly by the employer during the worker’s maternity leave in respect of her employment. By contrast, the concept of allowance to which that provision also refers includes all income received by the worker during her maternity leave which is not paid to her by her employer pursuant to the employment relationship (see Case C-411/96 Boyle and Others [1998] ECR I-6401, paragraph 31).
