The Insurance Court rejected the appeal against the Pensions Board's decision regarding pension classification for workers at an artificial insemination center. Although these employees performed tasks like metalwork and facility maintenance alongside their primary duties, the court determined their employment fell under the Agricultural Employees' Pension Act (TEL) rather than the General Employees' Pension Act (LEL). The court emphasized that the overall nature of the work and the organization's purpose dictated the applicable pension scheme, resulting in a 3-2 vote to uphold the original decision.

s. 1 TEL; s. 1 LEL: The Agricultural Employees' Pension Act applies to workers whose primary duties are tied to the agricultural nature of the employer's purpose, even if ancillary tasks involve general construction or maintenance, whereas the General Employees' Pension Act does not cover such specialized agricultural entities.

Keinosiemennysyhdistyksen maatilalla, sonninavetassa ja karjunavetassa työskenteleviin henkilöihin oli yhdistyksen tarkoituksen ja työn pääasiallisen luonteen huomioon ottaen sovellettava TEL:a eikä LEL:a. Keinosiemennykseen liittyvien tehtävien lisäksi näiden työntekijöiden työnä oli ollut peltotyöt, kiinteistöjen hoito ja laitteistojen asennus sekä huoltotyöt keinosiemennysasemalla. Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. (Äänestys 3-2) III -jaosto
