17Directive 2003/88 treats entitlement to annual leave and to a payment on that account as being two aspects of a single right. The purpose of providing payment for that leave is to put the worker, during such leave, in a position which is, as regards his salary, comparable to periods of work (see Robinson-Steele and Others EU:C:2006:177, paragraph 58, and Schultz-Hoff and Others EU:C:2009:18, paragraph 60).
