Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the insured's cassation appeal, upholding the Social Insurance Institution's decision that she was subject to mandatory social insurance due to her business activity. The court found that while maternity benefits and childcare leave interrupted the employment-based insurance title, they simultaneously created a separate mandatory insurance title for business operators. Consequently, the insured remained obligated to pay contributions for her non-agricultural business regardless of her concurrent employment status.
