Supreme Court dismissed early retirement claim for a worker born after 1948 who did not terminate employment.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Elżbieta R. against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of early retirement benefits. The court found that the employment contract with her husband was a sham designed solely to bypass legal requirements, as she had been self-employed immediately prior. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory right to early retirement for women born after December 31, 1948, does not arise until the employment relationship is formally terminated.
