The Administrative Court of Finland allowed the municipality to deduct full unemployment benefits and 80% of unemployment allowance from the employee's wrongful dismissal compensation. The employee argued that deducting these amounts would reduce their pension rights, while the employer contended that only pension-relevant income should be considered. The court ruled that the statutory provisions permit the deduction of these specific benefits to prevent double recovery of lost earnings.

Asiassa oli kysymys siitä, voiko kunta maksaessaan viranhaltijalle tämän laittoman irtisanomisen johdosta menettämät palkkaetuudet lukea palkkasaatavien vähennykseksi paitsi toisen työnantajan palveluksessa saadut palkkatulot ja sairauden ajalta saadut sairauspäivärahat myös kansaneläkelaitoksen maksaman työmarkkinatuen kokonaan sekä 80 prosenttia työttömyyskassan maksamista päivärahoista.

Viranhaltija vaati valituksessaan, että hänelle maksettavasta korvauksesta vähennetään ainoastaan hänen saamansa sairauspäivärahat ja muualta saadut palkat. Muutoin hänelle on maksettava hänen palkkansa täysimääräisenä, koska muiden etuisuuksien vähentäminen pienentää hänen eläkeoikeuttaan.
