Key legal question
Whether the repayment waiver prerequisites were met, in particular good faith in receiving short-time work benefits
Extracted holding
The appellant could not invoke good faith because it acted with gross negligence by destroying work-time records and should have clarified the adequacy of its timekeeping system.
Extracted reasoning
Although a lack of unlawful awareness was not excluded, the decisive question was whether the company could rely on good faith. As a matter of law, applicants must inquire in case of doubt whether their recording system meets the requirements. The company had enough information from the SECO materials and should have kept the records for five years. Destroying the hand notes after transfer to the official form was no longer a slight fault.
