Question juridique clé
Whether the unpaid leave year had to be included in the calculation of the early-retirement bridge pension at 0% employment.
Solution extraite
Yes. Counting the leave year with a 0% employment rate was not arbitrary and was consistent with equal treatment.
Motifs extraits
The pension amount may be adjusted according to the average employment rate over a long reference period; if part-time work justifies a reduction, a year without any work may also justify one. The chosen reference period reduced the impact of a temporary fluctuation.
