Minimum wage effectiveness of a presence bonus
Presence premiums are to be counted towards the statutory minimum wage. However, this only applies if the basic remuneration contractually agreed for a working hour is lower than the minimum wage. If the employer wants to prevent a “coexistence”, he must agree on expressly individual contractual or collective law regulations with the employees or the company parties. find the comment by Ra Dirk Helge Laskawy and Ra Peggy Lomb on the judgment of the Federal Labor Court of October 11, 2017 .
