Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal regarding the denial of early retirement based on insufficient farm work history. The applicant argued that occasional work during school years should count as contribution periods, but the lower courts found the work to be merely incidental and below half-time. The court upheld this decision, ruling that farm work only qualifies as a contribution period if it meets the statutory minimum of half full-time employment.
