Question juridique clé
Whether the waiting period under the temporary cantonal employment contract counts as a contribution period under unemployment insurance law.
Solution extraite
No. Only the period during which the insured actually performed work at the user company counted; the prior waiting period without work did not constitute contributory employment.
Motifs extraits
A contribution period requires effective salaried activity. In the waiting phase, the contract was not yet a normal employment relationship; the state paid remuneration without requiring work, so the amount paid resembled social assistance rather than salary for work. There was therefore no employer default and no basis to equate the waiting time with contribution-bearing employment.
