Question juridique clé
Whether the employer's illness or accident qualifies as a compensable hardship reason for short-time work under Art. 32 para. 3 AVIG and Art. 51 AVIV.
Solution extraite
No. Only hardship situations of high intensity with significant external impact are covered; illness or accident in the employer's person is not included.
Motifs extraits
The statutory and regulatory scheme limits hardship exceptions to external circumstances comparable to the listed examples in Art. 51 para. 2 AVIV. A personal illness, even if not economically caused, does not fall within that closed class of hardship cases.
