Social security insurance requires actual work performance under a contract, not merely the contract's existence.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Alexandra B.'s cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's decision denying her social security coverage. The court found that while Alexandra B. signed a service contract, she did not actually perform the work required by the agreement, as she attended only a few of the promised training sessions. Consequently, the court ruled that the mere existence of the contract was insufficient to trigger the mandatory social insurance obligation, which depends on the factual execution of work.
