Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the contractual bonus for 2004 was owed in full despite poor business results.
Decisione estratta
The bonus was a gratification dependent on the employer's assessment; given the markedly worse losses in 2004, no bonus was owed.
Motivazione estratta
The 30 June 2003 amendment did not guarantee payment solely on budget compliance. Under the trust principle, qualitative performance factors could influence the bonus. The employer could refuse the bonus because losses from undetected errors increased sharply.
