Key legal question
Whether the claim for short-time work compensation for June 2002 was filed within the statutory deadline
Extracted holding
The claim was filed after the three-month deadline and was therefore late.
Extracted reasoning
The deadline under Art. 38 Abs. 1 AVIG is a forfeiture period; the claim reached the fund on 7 October 2002, after expiry of the period ending in late September 2002. The statutory holiday suspension did not apply to this material deadline.
