What counts as other remunerations?
Other remuneration is wages that are not paid as regular wages. Other remuneration includes, in particular, one-off payments of wages that are paid in addition to current wages, in particular:
- Thirteenth and fourteenth monthly salaries,
- One-off severance payments and indemnities,
- Bonuses and gratuities that are not paid on an ongoing basis,
- Anniversary bonuses,
- Holiday allowances which are not paid continuously, and compensation for holidays not taken,
- Remuneration for inventions,
- Christmas bonuses,
- Additional payments and advance payments if the total amount or a partial amount of the additional payment or advance payment relates to wage payment periods ending in a year other than the year of payment. Additional payments also exist if wages for wage payment periods of the past calendar year are received later than three weeks after the end of that year.
