Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ruled that the employee's injury sustained while performing duties as an order man constituted a compensable work accident. Although the employee donated the agreed monetary compensation for this work to the association, the court held this did not alter the nature of the employment relationship. Consequently, the violence suffered was legally linked to the work performed, entitling the employee to work accident benefits.

Henkilö toimi yhdistyksen järjestämissä huvitilaisuuksissa järjestysmiehenä sopimuksin, että hän lahjoittaa tästä työstä sovitun rahapalkkion kysymyksessä olevalle yhdistykselle. Järjestysmiehen työssä ollessaan hän oli joutunut pahoinpitelyn kohteeksi. VAKO katsoi henkilön olleen vahingoittuessaan työsuhteessa yhdistykseen eikä sen seikan, että hän oli lahjoittanut työstä tulleen vastikkeen puheena olevalle yhdistykselle, voitu katsoa muuttaneen työsuhteen luonnetta.
