Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a pension claim, ruling that preparatory meat processing work qualifies as slaughterhouse employment. The applicant had accumulated insufficient years in special conditions due to a strict interpretation of military service return periods and a narrow definition of slaughter duties. The court held that the 30-day return period is not part of employment and that slaughter duties include subsequent meat disassembly, thereby granting the applicant the necessary years for early retirement.
