Insurance court ruled TEL applies to farm workers at artificial insemination centers, not LEL, due to job nature.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe 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.

Eläkelautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. (Äänestys 3-2) III -jaosto
