Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland partially allowed the applicant's request to supplement her pension contribution period with agricultural work years. The lower courts initially granted a higher pension based on full equivalence, but the Supreme Court clarified that such treatment is exceptional and strictly limited to filling gaps in contribution periods. Consequently, the court ruled that farm work could only be counted to the extent necessary to reach the minimum 15-year requirement, without raising the pension to the lowest standard rate.
