Von Omnilex extrahiert
The Federal Labour Court dismissed the employer’s revision, while partly setting aside the Cologne Higher Labour Court judgment and partly amending the Cologne Labour Court judgment. It held that the employee is entitled to a monthly performance bonus totaling EUR 363.83 gross, less payments already made, for the period from 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008. The bonus must also be included in the calculation of continued pay, additional vacation pay, and the thirteenth-month special payment under the applicable collective agreements. The employer must bear the costs of the revision.
§ 16 EMTV, § 14 Nr. 1 and Nr. 2 EMTV, § 2 Nr. 2.2 ETV 13. Monatseinkommen; inclusion of a performance bonus in wage-related ancillary entitlements. If collective-agreement provisions link continued remuneration, vacation pay and special payments to the relevant wage basis, a performance bonus owed on a recurring basis is to be included in the calculation of those benefits when the contractual/collective arrangement so provides. The court may partly amend the operative part of the lower judgments and dismiss the revision insofar as the challenged decision is substantively correct (consid. operative part).

Whether the employee is entitled to a monthly performance bonus for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008.
The employer must pay a total of EUR 363.83 gross, less amounts already paid, for the stated period.
The appellate judgment was only partly set aside and the first-instance judgment partly amended; the remaining claim was upheld as to the performance bonus amount.
Whether the performance bonus must be included in continued remuneration, vacation pay, and the thirteenth-month special payment calculations.
Yes; the performance bonus must be taken into account in those remuneration calculations.
The dispositive order expressly required consideration of the bonus under the relevant collective agreement provisions for continued wage payment, additional vacation pay, and special payment.
Whether the employer's revision should succeed.
No; the revision was dismissed with only partial modification of the lower judgments.
The Federal Labour Court upheld the employee's entitlement in substance and adjusted the operative part only to the extent necessary.
