The Federal Labour Court rejected the employer's revision, with partial amendment of the lower-court judgments. It held that the employee was entitled to a monthly performance allowance of EUR 255.25 gross for the period from 1 July 2007 to 31 August 2008, less any payments already made. The allowance also had to be included when calculating continued pay, additional holiday pay, and the special payment. The employer was ordered to bear the costs of the revision.
§ 16 EMTV; § 14 Nr. 1 und Nr. 2 EMTV; § 2 Nr. 2.2 ETV 13. Monatseinkommen; inclusion of a performance allowance in ancillary remuneration and continued pay: where the collective wage scheme links continued pay, holiday pay and special payment to the remuneration basis, a performance allowance paid as part of regular remuneration must be included in the calculation, unless excluded by clear contractual or collective provisions. The employer’s revision is unsuccessful if the appellate court correctly determines the allowance as payable and its relevance for the calculation basis (consid. 1 et seq.).

Yes; the employer must pay a total of EUR 255.25 gross per month, less payments already made.
The Federal Labour Court upheld the claim in substance and adjusted the lower-court decisions accordingly.
Whether the performance allowance must be included in continued pay, additional holiday pay, and the special payment
Yes; the allowance is to be taken into account in calculating continued pay, additional holiday pay, and the special payment.
The contractual/collective wage rules governing continued pay and ancillary remuneration require the allowance to be included in the calculation basis.

No; the revision was rejected with only partial modification of the appealed judgments.
The lower courts were partly upheld and partly corrected only to reflect the precise scope of the employee's entitlement.
