Wolfsburg Volkswagen employees with collective bargaining agreements received a higher bonus payment for the past year. In total, the bonus amounts to 3,630 euros, as works council chief Daniela Cavallo and HR director Gunnar Kilian announced on Wednesday. Members of the workforce in the VW company tariff should receive a further 1,900 euros with the May salary after the 1,730 euros already transferred in November.
This indicates a rising trend again. There was an extra 2700 euros for the weak Corona year 2020. That was significantly less than before – for 2019, for example, the employees at the west German locations who were entitled to bonuses received 4,950 euros, for 2013 even 7,200 euros. In 2021, the profit share was 3000 euros.
The tariff bonus is essentially based on the operating results of the main division VW passenger cars and the brand of light commercial vehicles (VWN). However, other criteria are also applied. There was also a special payment of 2,000 euros in January for Porsche’s IPO, followed in February by the net inflation compensation premium of 2,000 euros.
