Wage entitlement to additional remuneration

The Federal Labour Court (BAG) reversed the lower courts' decisions and ordered the employer to pay the employee €429.00 gross in arrears plus statutory interest, with the employer bearing all legal costs. The dispute concerned a claim for additional remuneration, where the employee challenged the employer's refusal to pay the disputed amount. The ruling establishes that the employee's claim for the specific wage differential was justified, overriding the prior judgments from the Labour Court and the Higher Labour Court of Lower Saxia, which had denied relief.
