Key legal question
Whether the employer-paid travel-time allowance counts as insured earnings under unemployment insurance law.
Extracted holding
The allowance is part of the insured earnings because it was a regular wage component, the vacation pay was calculated on it, and it was not a mere reimbursement of expenses or overtime compensation.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 23 AVIG, regular contractual supplements are included unless they compensate work-related inconveniences; here the payment was regularly granted, reflected in salary records, and vacation pay was paid on the full wage including the allowance.
