The Federal Labor Court partially modified the judgments of the Labour Court Cologne and the Regional Labour Court Cologne. It held that the defendant owes the claimant a monthly performance allowance for the period from 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008 in the total amount of EUR 644.79 gross, less any payments already made. The allowance must also be included when calculating continued monthly remuneration, additional vacation pay, and the special payment. The defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the revision. The parties waived statement of facts and reasons.
§ 313a ZPO; wage components and inclusion in ancillary pay calculations; where the parties waive statement of facts and reasons, the judgment may be rendered without a written reasoning. A contractual or collective performance allowance that is owed on a continuing basis for a defined period forms part of the remuneration basis and must be included in the calculation of continued pay and other wage-dependent supplements if the governing remuneration rules refer to monthly earnings or wage components without excluding such allowance. Partial amendment of the lower-court judgments is permissible where the entitlement is affirmed but the operative wording requires clarification.

Whether the defendant must pay the claimant a monthly performance allowance for July 2007 to August 2008.
The defendant must pay a monthly performance allowance totaling EUR 644.79 gross, less payments already made, for the period at issue.
The lower courts' assessment was partly corrected, but the claimant's entitlement to the allowance remained established for the relevant period.
Whether the performance allowance must be included in the calculation of continued monthly remuneration, additional vacation pay, and the special payment.
Yes. The allowance must be taken into account in calculating continued monthly remuneration, additional vacation pay, and the special payment.
Because the allowance forms part of the remunerative basis, it is to be considered for the contractual wage components named in the tenor.
Costs of the revision proceedings.
The defendant bears the costs of the revision.
As the revision was unsuccessful in substance, costs were imposed on the defendant.
