Social security contributions do not automatically imply employment status if facts show a civil partner relationship.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Kazimierz M. against the Social Insurance Institution's decision regarding his social security classification. The court found that while the insured performed tasks for his wife's civil partnership, the specific circumstances and lack of strict working hours indicated a partnership relationship rather than an employment contract. Consequently, the court ruled that paying contributions and filing declarations does not automatically establish employment status when the underlying relationship is that of a civil partner.
