Key legal question
Whether the husband had a separate employment relationship and was owed salary for replacing his wife from 13 December 1999 to 15 March 2000.
Extracted holding
Yes. The cantonal court acted arbitrarily in denying that period of replacement work; CHF 1,770 remained due to the husband.
Extracted reasoning
Before 13 December 1999, his occasional help was gratuitous family assistance, not employment. But the work performed during the wife’s incapacity was remunerated replacement work under the concierge arrangement.
