Résumé Omnilex

The Federal Labour Court dismissed the defendant’s revision. It upheld, with partial formal modification, the claimant’s success in obtaining a declaration that the employer must pay a monthly performance allowance for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008 in the total amount of EUR 460.57 gross, less amounts already paid. The allowance must also be included when calculating continued monthly remuneration, additional vacation pay, and the special annual payment. The parties waived a statement of facts and reasons under § 313a ZPO. The defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the revision.

Regeste Omnilex

§ 313a ZPO; waiver of reasons and facts does not prevent a full operative review on revision; where the parties waive a reasoned statement, the judgment may limit itself to the tenor. In employment-law disputes concerning wage components, a contractual or collective performance allowance must be included in the calculation of dependent remuneration items if the governing remuneration rules make reference to regular pay components and do not exclude such allowance. The revision court may dismiss the revision while partially annulling and reformulating the lower-court tenor to clarify the scope of the monetary obligation and its consequences for ancillary wage claims.
