Key legal question
Whether the appellant satisfied the contribution-period requirement for unemployment benefits from 14 January 2004.
Extracted holding
The work performed from December 2002 to March 2003 was not contributory employment; the required minimum contribution period was not proven.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court's factual findings were not shown to be manifestly incorrect. The record indicated that salary payments had been deliberately waived and that the activity was carried out without an employment relationship entitling to wages, so it could not count as contribution time.
