The Federal Labour Court dismissed the defendant’s revision, while partially modifying the lower-court judgments to specify that the employer must pay the plaintiff a monthly performance bonus totaling EUR 358.72 gross, less payments already made, for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008. The court also confirmed that this bonus must be included in the calculation of continued monthly remuneration, additional vacation pay, and the 13th-month bonus. The defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the revision. The parties waived a statement of facts and reasons.
§ 16 EMTV, § 14 Nr. 1 and Nr. 2 EMTV, § 2 Nr. 2.2 ETV 13. Monatseinkommen; a contractual performance bonus must be included in the remuneration base for continuing pay, vacation pay, and special annual payments where the collective agreement so requires. If the amount due can be determined on appeal, the appellate court may specify the payment claim precisely while otherwise leaving the lower-court result intact. Waiver of the statement of facts and reasons under § 313a ZPO does not affect the dispositive effect of the judgment.
