Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant was entitled to unemployment benefits after leaving the company while remaining an associate of the Sàrl.
Solution extraite
No. As long as he remained an associate, he retained a position comparable to that of an employer and could be excluded from unemployment benefits without further inquiry into his actual internal role.
Motifs extraits
For associates in a Sàrl, the risk of abuse presumed by case law and the parallel with reduced working time benefits justify denial of unemployment benefits under Art. 31(3)(c) LACI until the associate status ends.
