Short-term agency work periods under 6 months do not count as contributory periods for pension rights.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal to grant a pension to the applicant. The applicant argued that her intermittent work as a soda water distributor under an agency contract should count as contributory periods, but the court found the work did not meet statutory requirements. The court ruled that such short-term agency work, performed less than six months per year, is not considered a contributory period under the relevant pension and social insurance laws.
