Key legal question
Whether the claimant's appeal was admissible insofar as it sought a declaration that the defendant must pay basic salary under pay group IIa at the highest age step for 1 August 2008 to 31 December 2009.
Extracted holding
That part of the appeal was inadmissible and had to be dismissed.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Labour Court set aside the appellate judgment only in part and, as to the challenged declaration, rejected the appeal as inadmissible. The decision was issued without findings of fact and reasons due to the parallel lead proceedings.
