Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for unemployment benefits, ruling that her temporary work on her husband's farm did not constitute continuous agricultural employment. Although the applicant had previously received benefits and worked outside the farm, the court found her summer work insufficient to establish a new agricultural occupation. Consequently, the Social Security Board's decision to deny benefits was upheld based on the lack of continuous employment in the agricultural sector.

A oli muuttanut puolisonsa omistamalle maatilalle 2.7.1994 ja saanut työttömyyspäivärahaa 3.1.1995 lukien, koska tilan, jossa oli 10 ha viljeltyä peltoa, 126 ha metsää ja 12 hevosta, ei katsottu työllistävän häntä talviaikaan. A, joka oli ammatiltaan kodinhoitaja ja ollut 25 vuotta työttömyyskassan jäsen eikä ollut aiemmin ollut työttömänä, oli jälleen työllistynyt ammatissaan 24.7.1995 lukien. VakO katsoi, huomioon ottaen A:n ammatin, tilan tuotantosuunnan, pitkän tilan ulkopuolisen työhistorian, aiemmin maksetun työttömyyspäivärahan ja työllistymisen tilan ulkopuolella 24.7.1995 lukien, ettei A työllisty maatalousyrittäjätoiminnassa myöskään kesäaikana 1.5.-23.7.1995. Työttömyysturvalautakunnan päätöstä muutettiin. (Äänestys 3-2) III-jaosto Samoin VakO 1845:96 III-jaosto Vrt. VakO 158:97 VI-jaosto. Valitus hyl. Samoin VakO 11002:96 II-jaosto Vrt.
