The Federal Labour Court dismissed the defendant's revision and largely upheld the lower-court outcome, with a partial amendment of the operative part. It held that the claimant is entitled to a monthly performance allowance for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008 in the total amount of EUR 303.53 gross, minus payments already made, and that this allowance must be included in the calculation of continued pay, additional holiday pay, and the 13th-month special payment. The defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the revision.
Collective agreement provisions on continued pay, holiday pay and special payments; inclusion of a performance allowance in remuneration components. Where a recurring performance allowance is owed as part of the employee's remuneration, it is to be taken into account in the calculation of wage continuation, additional holiday pay and a contractual 13th-month special payment if the relevant collective agreement bases those benefits on remuneration concepts that encompass such allowance. The Federal Labour Court may uphold the lower court result while partially reformulating the operative part for precision (consid. on tenor).

Whether the defendant must pay the claimant a monthly performance allowance for July 2007 to August 2008 in the total amount of EUR 303.53 gross, minus payments already made.
The defendant must pay the monthly performance allowance for the relevant period, subject to deduction of amounts already paid.
The allowance was owed and the lower judgments were corrected only to the extent necessary to state the payment obligation precisely.
Whether the performance allowance must be included when calculating continued monthly pay, additional vacation pay, and the special 13th-month payment.
The performance allowance must be taken into account in those calculations.
The allowance formed part of the remuneration relevant for those contractual payment components under the cited collective agreement provisions.
Whether the defendant's revision should succeed against the appellate judgment.
The revision was unsuccessful, but the judgment was partially amended and partially set aside in wording only.
The appellate court's result was substantially upheld; the Supreme Labour Court adjusted the operative part to reflect the exact declaratory and payment wording.
