The Administrative Court dismissed the claim regarding whether personal assistants of a disabled person are entitled to weekend and evening pay. The applicant, acting as an employer, argued that assistants should receive compensation under the Working Hours Act and EU directives, while the county argued the disability services act governs their relationship. The court ruled that the specific provisions of the disability services act exclude the general application of the Working Hours Act to this specific employment relationship.

A:lle oli myönnetty henkilökohtaista apua vammaisuuden perusteella annettavista palveluista ja tukitoimista annetun lain perusteella. A:n perheenjäsenet olivat toimineet hänen henkilökohtaisena avustajanaan. A oli toiminut henkilökohtaisten avustajiensa työnantajana, joka oli laatinut työvuorolistat eli määrännyt työntekijän työajasta ja merkinnyt tunnit tuntilistaan, jonka perusteella kunta on maksanut avustajien palkan. Asiassa oli hallinto-oikeudessa kysymys siitä, että onko A:n henkilökohtaisille avustajille maksettava ilta- ja viikonloppukorvaukset.
