Seasonal and temporary work periods of a minor employee are contributory periods for pension calculation under Polish law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's refusal to count specific employment periods for early pension eligibility. The applicant argued that her seasonal work as a minor in a forestry school should be recognized as contributory time, while the Social Insurance Institution denied it based on a calculated total of 34 years and 14 days. The court ruled that because the applicant was a minor employee during that period, those specific seasonal and temporary work intervals must be treated as contributory periods under the relevant pension statute.
