Inclusion of performance bonus in calculation base for statutory sick-leave pay, vacation pay, and 13th-month special payments under collective agreement
Deutschland (DE)
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Federal Labor Court (BAG) rejected the defendant's revision, affirming the lower courts' rulings that the employer is obligated to pay the employee a monthly performance bonus of €331.13 gross (less amounts already paid) for the period from July 1, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and to include this bonus in the calculation base for continued pay under sick leave, additional vacation pay, and special payments under the collective agreement. The dispute concerned the entitlement to a performance bonus and its inclusion as a component of remuneration for calculating statutory and contractual ancillary benefits. The decisive legal basis was the interpretation of the applicable collective agreement (EMTV/ETV), specifically § 16 EMTV for continued pay, § 14 EMTV for vacation pay, and § 2 No. 2.2 ETV 13th-month income for special payments, which required the performance bonus to be treated as part of the regular wage base.
