Extrait par Omnilex
The Federal Labour Court dismissed the employer's revision. It partially set aside the Cologne Labour Court and Regional Labour Court judgments only to clarify the operative order: the employee is entitled to a monthly performance allowance of EUR 428.18 gross, minus payments already made, for the period from 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008. The allowance must also be included in continued pay, additional holiday pay, and the 13th-month special payment. The employer must bear the costs of the revision. The parties had waived statement of facts and reasons.
§ 313a ZPO; revision dismissed with clarification of the operative part; a contractual or collective performance allowance that is due on a monthly basis is part of the remuneration basis for continued pay and for other ancillary payments if the relevant collective rules refer to the monthly remuneration. Where the lower courts have correctly recognised the entitlement but the tenor is incomplete, the Federal Labour Court may partially set aside and reformulate the operative order without disturbing the substantive outcome.

Whether the employer must pay a monthly performance allowance for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008, less amounts already paid.
The employer remains obliged to pay the allowance in the amount determined by the lower courts, subject to credit for payments already made.
The Court upheld the claim as formulated in the tenor and only adjusted the lower judgments to the extent necessary to specify the payment obligation.
Whether the performance allowance must be included in continued monthly remuneration, additional holiday pay, and the 13th-month special payment.
Yes; the allowance must be taken into account when calculating continued monthly pay, additional holiday pay, and the special payment.
The allowance forms part of the remuneration basis relevant under the cited collective agreements and therefore affects all listed ancillary payments.
Whether the employer's revision should succeed against the appellate judgment.
No; the revision was dismissed with the specified modifications to the reasoning and tenor of the prior judgments.
The Court found no basis to overturn the employee's entitlement and limited itself to partially setting aside and modifying the lower-court judgments to reflect the precise operative order.
