The Administrative Court of Helsinki annulled a municipal association's decision to deduct 80% of unemployment benefits from back pay owed to an employee following an illegal dismissal. The court held that under the Act on the Security of Public Service Relationships, the employer must pay the full amount of back pay without offsetting unemployment benefits. Consequently, the case was remitted to the association's board for recalculation based on this legal principle.

Korkeimman hallinto-oikeuden vahvistettua päätöksellään kuntayhtymän viranhaltija A:n virkasuhteen irtisanomisen lainvastaiseksi, kuntayhtymä oli kunnallisen viranhaltijan palvelussuhdeturvasta annetun lain 14 §:n nojalla A:lle palkkaa takautuvasti maksaessaan vähentänyt palkasta 80 prosentin suuruisen osuuden A:n saamasta työttömyyskorvauksesta.

A:n tehtyä kuntayhtymän hallituksen päätöksestä valituksen hallinto-oikeus muun ohessa totesi, että vahvistettaessa A:lle jälkikäteen kunnallisen viranhaltijan palvelussuhdeturvasta annetun lain 14 §:n mukaisesti jatkuneen virkasuhteen perusteella maksettavan saatavan määrä palkasta ei tule vähentää hänen saamiaan työttömyyspäivärahoja. Hallinto-oikeus tältä osin kumosi kuntayhtymän hallituksen päätöksen ja palautti asian hallitukselle uudelleen käsiteltäväksi.
