Extracted by Omnilex
The Federal Labor Court dismissed the employer's revision, while partially setting aside the Cologne appellate judgment and partially amending the Cologne labor court judgment. It confirmed that the defendant must pay the employee a monthly performance allowance of EUR 272.87 gross, less amounts already paid, for the period from 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008. The Court also held that this allowance must be included in the calculation of continued monthly pay, additional holiday pay, and the 13th-month bonus. The defendant was ordered to 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 allowance in continued remuneration and special payments. If a collective agreement designates a recurring monthly performance allowance as remuneration relevant to the calculation bases for continued pay, holiday pay, and annual special payment, the allowance must be included in those calculations according to the agreement's wording and structure. The revision is dismissed if the lower courts correctly applied the collective-bargaining provisions and only the tenor requires partial clarification or adjustment (consid. not indicated).
