Remand for reassessment of wage claim period after partial reversal of lower court’s dismissal

The Federal Labour Court (BAG) partially reversed the decision of the Saxon Regional Labour Court, setting aside the dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for the period from February 1, 2013, to December 13, 2016, and remanded the matter to the lower court for a new hearing and decision regarding that specific timeframe. The dispute concerned a claim for payment, where the plaintiff sought financial entitlements that the appellate court had previously rejected for the aforementioned period. The court's ruling indicates that the lower court's refusal to award payment for this specific duration was legally flawed, necessitating a reassessment of the claim's validity and quantum, while leaving other aspects of the prior judgment in force. The decisive legal basis rests on the substantive rights to compensation for the contested period, requiring the remanded instance to determine the specific amount due after re-evaluating the factual and legal circumstances applicable between early 2013 and late 2016.
