Inclusion of pre-2004 period in compensation calculation against public employer

The Federal Labor Court (BAG) reversed in part and remanded the appellate decision, ordering the lower courts to include the period from January 1, 2004, to June 30, 2011, in the calculation of the plaintiff’s claims, thereby affirming the plaintiff's position on this temporal aspect while dismissing the defendant's revision. The dispute concerned a claim by an employee against the federal public employer regarding financial entitlements or compensation, specifically challenging the exclusion of a seven-year historical period from the assessment. The decisive legal basis involved the correct application of statutory time periods for calculating labor rights and benefits, with the court determining that the earlier period was legally relevant and must be factored into the final award, resulting in the state bearing the full costs of litigation.
