Supreme Court allows teacher's pension claim by counting parliamentary leave as special employment tenure.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a teacher's pension claim, ruling that parliamentary leave counts as special employment tenure. The Social Insurance Institution had rejected the claim because the applicant's leave during her parliamentary mandate was not recognized as teaching work, citing that her previous employment was at non-educational institutions. The court held that the statutory provision equating parliamentary remuneration to employment allows this period to be counted as special teaching tenure if the prior job qualified as such.
