Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary revision against the Social Insurance Fund's decision to calculate sick pay based on post-change earnings. The applicant argued that a general wage increase constituted a change in employment conditions, while the Fund contended only the base salary rose. The court ruled that the specific regulation allowing post-change salary calculation is an exception to the general rule and cannot be interpreted broadly to cover mere wage hikes without contractual changes.
