ATA/737/1996•Competence and affiliation to occupational pension fund
ATA/737/1996Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberDec 10, 1996
Extracted by Omnilex
The Tribunal administratif held that it was competent to examine whether an employee should have been affiliated by the employer to the company pension fund. The court did not decide in the abstract whether a 15-day interruption clause in the employment contract applied to the case, but found that, on the facts, the employee had ceased working for less than 15 days and therefore should have remained insured under the occupational pension scheme.
OPP.2 1 al.1 litt.b; competence of the administrative court and continuity of occupational pension coverage after a short interruption of employment. The administrative court is competent to review whether an employee had to be affiliated to the employer’s pension fund. The question whether a contractual clause deeming a 15-day interruption to constitute a break in employment is applicable may remain open where, in any event, the interruption actually lasted less than 15 days. In such circumstances, the employee must be regarded as having remained insured; short cessations of work do not suffice to interrupt the affiliation requirement.

Whether the Tribunal administratif has jurisdiction to review whether an employee should have been affiliated to the employer’s occupational pension fund.
Yes. The Tribunal administratif is competent to examine that question.
The dispute concerns affiliation to occupational pension, which falls within the court’s review competence.
Whether a contract clause treating a 15-day interruption as a break in employment under occupational pension law applies to the case.
The court left open whether the contractual 15-day rule was applicable in general, but held that it did not prevent coverage here.
Since the employee stopped working for less than 15 days, the interruption was too short to justify a break in insurance coverage.
