Sintesi Omnilex

The Federal Labour Court dismissed the defendant’s revision. It partially set aside the Cologne Labour Court and Labour Court of Appeal decisions and declared that the defendant must pay the claimant a monthly performance allowance of EUR 331.13 gross, less amounts already paid, for 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008. The allowance must also be included in the calculation of continued remuneration, additional vacation pay, and the 13th-month special payment. The court ordered the defendant to bear the costs of the revision. The parties waived a statement of facts and reasons under § 313a ZPO.

Massima Omnilex

§ 313a ZPO; inclusion of a monthly performance allowance in continued pay and ancillary remuneration claims: Where the parties waive findings of fact and reasons, the judgment may be issued in shortened form. A contractual or collective performance allowance that is owed regularly and in a fixed monthly amount forms part of the remuneration basis for continued payment of wages as well as for holiday pay and special payments, if the relevant collective provisions refer to the monthly remuneration and do not exclude such allowances. The decisive point is whether the allowance is remuneration-related and regularly earned; if so, it is to be incorporated into the calculation base.
