Supreme Court ruled sick leave periods do not count as unemployment for severance pay calculations.

The Supreme Court partially quashed the lower court's judgment, ordering a recalculation of unemployment compensation for a cooperative member. The court held that while sick leave benefits are not deductible from the compensation amount, the period of illness must be excluded from the duration of unemployment. Consequently, the court found the lower court erred by failing to distinguish between time the employee was ready to work and time they were medically unable to do so.
