Bonuses and gratuities
Legal advice in relation to bonuses and gratuities
What is the difference between a genuine bonus [echte Gratifikation] and a bonus in principle [unechte Gratifikation]? Does a bonus amount to a variable salary element or a genuine gratuity? Can a bonus be made dependent upon conditions, such as the requirement that notice to terminate the employment relationship has not been given? Can a part of the salary be invested by the employer in shares and/or stock option plans? Does the recurring payment of a bonus lead to a corresponding entitlement on the part of the employee? Dr. Harry Nötzli will be happy to answer this and other questions concerning the issue of salaries/bonuses/gratuities.
