Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant fulfilled the contribution period or was exempt from it for unemployment benefits.
Solution extraite
She did not fulfill the contribution period and was not exempt from it; her work for B.___ GmbH was self-employed under a mandate, not contributory employment.
Motifs extraits
The documents showed an hourly-fee arrangement with monthly invoicing and an expressly self-employed status. Self-employment does not generate contributory employment under Art. 13 AVIG, and none of the exemption grounds of Art. 14 AVIG applied.
