Christmas bonus and holiday money can raise parental allowance
22.07.2016
The national social court Berlin-Brandenburg recently ruled in favor of the Parental allowance recipients (file reference: L 17 EG 10/15). If Christmas and / or holiday pay is paid in the form of a 13th and / or 14th monthly salary according to an employment contract, these payments - even if they are pay-taxed as so-called other salaries - should be taken into account in order to raise the parent's salary.
The decisive factor is the employment contract. On the other hand, if the payments are not declared as a regular 13th and 14th month salary, they will still not be eligible for parental benefit. Thus, the Land Social Court confirmed the judgment of the Social Court of Berlin. It is not yet known if the defendant (the city of Berlin) has appealed.
A close examination of the facts with employees can be worthwhile. Gladly helps you with the exam your Parental allowance consultant.
