Question juridique clé
Whether § 9 KZV, requiring a part-time employee to earn a branch-standard wage, could be applied consistently with § 4 KZG.
Solution extraite
No. The wage criterion in § 9 KZV contradicted the purpose and wording of § 4 KZG and could not be applied.
Motifs extraits
The legislative history showed that the regulation was meant to define normal working time, not to add a wage threshold. Linking eligibility to a branch-standard wage changed the statutory scheme, which is based on AHV-pensionable earnings.
