Payment of remuneration
As a rule, payment of remuneration takes place at least once a month, on a fixed and predetermined date.
The employer is required to pay remuneration at the place, date and time specified in the work regulations or in other provisions of the labour law or in the notice.
Remuneration for work is paid once a month in arrears as soon as its full amount is determined. However, this may not be done later than within the first 10 days of the following calendar month.
If the date on which the remuneration for work is payable is a holiday, the remuneration is paid on the day before.
Remuneration components payable to the employee for periods longer than 1 month are paid in arrears within the time limits laid down in the provisions of the labour law.
Failure to pay remuneration or other benefits under the employment relationship within the time limit necessitates payment of interest.
In principle, remuneration must be paid in monetary form.
Payment of remuneration may be made in a non-cash or cash form. The rule is that remuneration is paid to the payment account indicated by the employee. If the employee wishes to receive payment personally in the form of cash, they must apply to the employer in writing or in electronic form for such a payment method.
