An employee sought payment of a monthly performance allowance and inclusion of that allowance in the calculation of continued pay, additional holiday pay, and the 13th-month special payment. The Federal Labor Court rejected the employer's revision, but partly set aside and amended the lower judgments to clarify the operative part. It held that the employer owes the allowance for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008 in the total amount of EUR 363.83 gross, less amounts already paid, and that the allowance must be included in the relevant remuneration calculations. The employer also had to bear the costs of the revision.
§ 16 EMTV, § 14 Nr. 1 and Nr. 2 EMTV, § 2 Nr. 2.2 ETV 13. Monatseinkommen; treatment of a monthly performance allowance in remuneration bases: if a contractual or collective allowance is remuneration-relevant, it must be included in the calculation of continued pay, additional holiday pay, and annual special payments. The operative part may be clarified by partial setting aside and amendment of the lower judgments where necessary; the revision is otherwise dismissed (consid. not stated).

Whether the monthly performance allowance must be paid for the period 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008.
The employer must pay the employee a monthly performance allowance totaling EUR 363.83 gross for that period, less payments already made.
The allowance was owed under the applicable collective rules and remained relevant for the payment period in dispute.
Whether the performance allowance must be included in the calculation of continued monthly pay, 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.
Because the allowance formed part of the remuneration relevant under the applicable collective provisions, it had to be included in the calculation bases named by the claimant.
Whether the employer's revision should succeed.
No. The revision was rejected with the above modification of the lower judgments.
The appellate court upheld the claimant's entitlement, while correcting the operative part of the lower-court decisions in part.
