Daimler is sharing the rewards of the successful 2014 financial year with its employees by paying out the highest profit-sharing bonus in the company's history.
The Board of Management and General Works Council resolved to pay a profit-sharing bonus of euros 4,350 (Rs 3.3 lakh) to all qualifying tariff-scale employees. "Our employees played a crucial part in making 2014 the best year in Daimler's history to date. With this profit-sharing bonus, we want to recognize their achievement and to thank our co-workers for their hard work," said Wilfried Porth, Member of the Board of Management responsible for Human Resources and Director of Labor Relations & Mercedes-Benz Vans at Daimler AG. The profit-sharing bonus will be paid out to around 135,000 qualifying tariff-scale employees with their April paychecks.
Michael Brecht, chairman of Daimler AG's General Works Council: "This is a record-breaking bonus for a record-breaking performance by our co-workers over the past year. This sends the right signal to the workforce: The bonus is an appropriate expression of gratitude, recognition and motivation."
