The principle of equal pay should be observed with regard to wages, salaries or any other consideration, whether in cash or in kind, which workers receive directly or indirectly, in respect of their employment from their employer. In accordance with the case-law of the Court of Justice ( 6 ) , the concept of pay should comprise not only salary, but also complementary or variable components of the pay. Under complementary or variable components, any benefits in addition to the ordinary basic or minimum wage or salary, which the worker receives directly or indirectly, whether in cash or in kind, should be taken into account. Such complementary or variable components may include, but are not limited to, bonuses, overtime compensation, travel facilities, housing and food allowances, compensation for attending training, payments in the case of dismissal, statutory sick pay, statutory required compensation and occupational pensions. The concept of pay should include all elements of remuneration due under law, collective agreements and/or practice in each Member State.
