Questão jurídica principal
Whether bonus payments must be included in the insured salary for determining subsequent BVG contributions.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The bonuses were part of the insured salary and had to be taken into account under the plan rules when recalculating the contribution basis.
Fundamentação extraída
The bonuses were not merely occasional wage components; under the applicable statutes and the prior binding judgment, they counted as insurable earnings. For the employee who joined in August 1997, the 1998 bonus had to be attributed to the projected annual salary at entry, while later bonuses affected the relevant salary years according to the plan logic.
