Kernrechtsfrage
Whether § 2(2) KZG, excluding a spouse working in the other spouse’s business from the notion of employee, is constitutionally permissible.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The provision is unconstitutional and therefore not applicable to the extent that it excludes persons who earn relevant wages under AHV law.
Extrahierte Begründung
The decisive criterion for entitlement is the AHV-law classification as an employee, not the marital relationship. The court followed earlier cantonal case law holding the exclusion incompatible with the constitution.
