Questão jurídica principal
Whether the school year with unpaid leave must be excluded from the four-year average under § 359 GAV
Decisão extraída
No. The relevant period is the four school years before the claim, but the year at issue was in fact worked and therefore could be counted; in any event, the claimed entitlement was not defeated by the unpaid-leave argument.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the text and purpose of § 359 GAV did not justify treating a school year in which the teacher actually worked as a non-counting 'zero year'.
