Signing invoices during sick leave while employing an assistant causes loss of sick pay under social insurance law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision denying the claimant sick pay due to her business activities during the period. Although the claimant argued she only signed documents while her family managed the business, the court found that hiring an assistant for emergency work constituted continued profitable business activity. The court ruled that receiving social benefits while earning income from an uninterrupted business is incompatible with the purpose of the insurance scheme.
