Questão jurídica principal
Whether the privately employed staff of the hospital foundation are exempt from the Labor Act under Art. 8(1) ArGV 1.
Decisão extraída
No. The non-leading staff were employed under private-law contracts on indefinite duration with bilateral termination, so they were not sufficiently akin to public-law service relations.
Fundamentação extraída
For the exemption to apply, private-law employment by a public institution must be closely modeled on the beam-like status, especially regarding fixed duration and termination. The hospital’s regulations expressly provided private-law contracts for the non-leading staff and ordinary bilateral termination, which does not meet that threshold.
