Overtime work does not extend the employment period required for disability pension eligibility under Polish law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's cassation appeal against a decision denying her disability pension. The court found that the applicant failed to prove five years of qualifying employment within the specific ten-year period preceding her claim. It ruled that overtime work does not extend the nominal employment duration and that non-contributory periods are limited to one-third of the contributory periods within that specific decade.
