Entitlement to collective agreement performance allowance and its inclusion in vacation pay, continued compensation, and special payment calculations
Deutschland (DE)
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe German Federal Labour Court (BAG) dismissed the defendant’s revision, partially overturning the lower courts' rulings to order the employer to pay the employee a monthly performance allowance of 428.18 EUR gross (net of prior payments) for the period from July 1, 2007, to August 31, 2008, and to include this allowance in the calculation of continued monthly compensation, additional vacation pay, and special payments; the defendant must bear the revision costs. The dispute concerned the entitlement to and calculation of contractual or collective agreement-based performance bonuses, specifically whether such allowances were payable for the disputed period and whether they had to be integrated into other compensation components. The decisive legal basis comprised the specific provisions of the applicable collective agreement (EMTV and ETV 13. Monatseinkommen), particularly Sections 14, 16, and 2, which governed the rights to vacation pay, continued compensation, and special payments.
