Sintesi Omnilex

The court held that a young man who had started a career as a salesperson of sports equipment was not engaged in seasonal activity, even though he first worked under a fixed-term contract in a winter sports shop open only during the season. The seasonal character of the employer’s business and the limited duration of the first contract were not sufficient to bring the employment within the special accident-insurance rule.

Massima Omnilex

Art. 22 al. 4 OLAA; notion d’activité saisonnière: le caractère saisonnier ne résulte pas à lui seul du fait que l’engagement a débuté par un contrat de durée déterminée dans un commerce n’ouvrant qu’en saison. Déterminante est la nature objective de l’activité exercée et non la seule périodicité d’ouverture de l’employeur. Un jeune engagé dans une carrière de vendeur de matériel sportif ne peut être qualifié de travailleur saisonnier du seul fait de la structure saisonnière du commerce (consid. non indiqué).

Questione giuridica chiave

Whether a fixed-term job in a winter sports shop qualifies as seasonal activity under accident insurance rules.

Decisione estratta

The activity could not be qualified as seasonal merely because the employee started with a fixed-term contract in a shop open only during the winter sports season.

Motivazione estratta

The court treated the decisive element as the nature of the employment and the worker's career prospects, not the employer's seasonal opening period or the fixed term of the first contract. A young man beginning a career as a salesperson of sports equipment was therefore not engaged in seasonal activity within the meaning of the rule.
