Appellants: L.T. s.s. (C-212/24), A.M. (C-226/24), XXX (C-227/24)

Operative part of the judgment
Clause 4(1) of the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded on 18 March 1999, which is annexed to Council Directive 1999/70/EC of 28 June 1999 concerning the framework agreement on fixed-term work concluded by ETUC, UNICE and CEEP,
must be interpreted as precluding national legislation, as interpreted by a supreme national court, under which social security contributions payable by employers who employ fixed-term agricultural workers in order to finance benefits under an occupational social security scheme are calculated on the basis of the remuneration paid to those workers for the daily working hours which they have actually completed, whereas the social security contributions payable by employers who employ permanent agricultural workers are calculated on the basis of remuneration established for a fixed daily working time, as established by national law, irrespective of the hours actually completed.
