The Bodelshausen fashion retailer Marc Cain supports its employees with an “inflation compensation bonus” of up to 3,000 euros.
Marc Cain announced on Friday that the company was making full use of the special bonus launched by the federal government. Employees receive EUR 1,500 with their payslips in December and another EUR 1,500 with their March payslips next year. The amount is adjusted depending on weekly working hours and any part-time work.
“The well-being of my employees is important to me, so financial help in these persistently difficult times is a matter of course for me,” Helmut Schlotterer, CEO at Marc Cain. “In order to ensure relief this year, it is also very important to me to pay out part of the bonus in December.”
The German federal government presented the special payments at the beginning of November. The federal government has agreed to “exempt an amount of up to 3,000 euros from tax and social security contributions in the event of additional payments from companies to their employees”. The “inflation compensation premium” is limited until December 31, 2024.
