ZURICH, June 25 (Reuters) - Switzerland's highest court on Friday rejected foreign sex workers' access to compensation for pay lost due to the coronavirus pandemic, saying temporary workers were ineligible for short-time work payouts due to their short stay.

Because the workers were permitted to work in Switzerland for only four months under rules allowing people from the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway to work in Switzerland for a short time, the court determined they were ineligible for compensation.
