Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court ruled that the applicant's work as a TV program designer and host between 1973 and 1974 constituted a single continuous employment relationship rather than separate contracts. The court found that since both roles involved the same television programs, they formed an integrated whole. Consequently, the court modified the Pensions Board's decision to apply the relevant employment law to the entire period.

Televisio-ohjelmien suunnittelutyö ja ohjelmien juontajana esiintyminen 11.9.1973-7.6.1974 katsottiin erillisistä työsopimuksista huolimatta yhdeksi jatkuvaksi työsuhteeksi, koska esiintyminen ja suunnittelu koskivat samoja ohjelmia ja kysymys oli kokonaisuudesta. Näin ollen VAKO määräsi työskentelyyn mainittuna aikana sovellettavaksi TEL:a. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin. VI -jaosto (äänestys 4 1)
