The Insurance Court recently ruled that in order to fulfil the requirements of equal treatment imposed under EU Regulation 1408/71, parental allowance must be calculated by taking into account the income of an individual who is similarly employed in Finland and with comparable experience and qualifications.
Partners Matti Komonen and Herman Ljungberg at Hammarström Puhakka Partners, Attorneys Ltd, have written an update on this matter. The update titled “Insurance Court decides on amount of parental allowance following recent ECJ ruling” has been published in the International Law Office’s newsletter on 2 October 2012.
