The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that extended sick pay for three months after the employee's contract ended. The insured worker became incapacitated during his employment but sought further benefits after his six-month contract was terminated, which the employer and social insurance office initially contested. The court held that the right to sick pay arises from the onset of incapacity during employment and continues for the full statutory period, including the three-month extension, regardless of subsequent job loss.
