Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant met the 18-month contribution period required for 400 unemployment benefit daily allowances.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The work relationships were continuous part-time employments; months with any work had to be counted as full contribution months, resulting in 18.886 months.
Extrahierte Begründung
The lower court wrongly treated repeated assignments as separate employment relationships. Under the established rules, the formal duration of the employment relationship is decisive; interruptions caused by fluctuating need did not end the continuous contracts. Overlapping contribution time could not be counted twice.
