44Furthermore, the concept of ‘pay’ is defined in Article 157(2) TFEU as ‘the ordinary basic or minimum wage or salary and any other consideration, whether in cash or in kind, which the worker receives directly or indirectly, in respect of his employment, from his employer’. As is apparent from the case-law, that concept must be interpreted broadly and it covers, in particular, any consideration, whether in cash or in kind, whether immediate or future, provided that the worker receives it, albeit indirectly, in respect of his employment from his employer, and irrespective of whether it is received under a contract of employment, by virtue of legislative provisions or on a voluntary basis (judgment of 8 May 2019, Praxair MRC, C‑486/18, EU:C:2019:379, paragraph 70 and the case-law cited).
