The Federal Labour Court largely upheld the employee’s success in the lower courts and rejected the employer’s revision with a minor correction of the operative part. The defendant must pay the claimant a monthly performance bonus totaling EUR 389.25 gross for the period from 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008, less any payments already made. The bonus must also be included in the calculation of continued pay, additional vacation pay, and the 13th-month special payment. The defendant bears the costs of the revision. The parties waived statement of facts and reasons.
§ 313a ZPO; performance bonus as part of remuneration relevant to continued pay and special payments; where the contractual or collective framework ties follow-on payments to monthly earnings, a regularly granted performance bonus is to be included in the calculation if it constitutes remuneration for work and is not excluded by a contrary rule. The Federal Labour Court may, on revision, limit itself to a partial amendment of the operative part while otherwise dismissing the appeal (consid. without detailed reasons due to waiver under § 313a ZPO).

Whether the defendant must pay a monthly performance bonus for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008.
The defendant must pay a total monthly performance bonus of EUR 389.25 gross for the period, less amounts already paid.
The lower courts’ assessment was partly corrected; the entitlement stood in the stated amount.
Whether the performance bonus must be included in continued monthly remuneration, additional vacation pay, and the 13th-month special payment.
Yes. The bonus must be taken into account when calculating continued pay under § 16 EMTV, additional vacation pay under § 14 No. 1 and No. 2 EMTV, and the special payment under § 2 No. 2.2 ETV 13th monthly income.
The bonus forms part of the remuneration relevant to these follow-on payment calculations.
How the revision should be decided.
The defendant’s revision was dismissed, subject to partial modification of the lower judgments.
The Federal Labour Court found only a limited need to adjust the operative part and otherwise upheld the result below.
