On 07 April an ‘agreement on social solidarity, and the protection and health of employees and the company’ was signed by the French auto manufacturer along with 4 of the 5 representative trade union organizations. The agreement creates a solidarity fund that guarantees 100% remuneration for all employees in partial activity, enables each site head to impose 6 days of leave, and gives the site heads the option of adapting summer leave schedules, all the while guaranteeing at least 12 consecutive leave days between 1 July and 31 August for each employee, to ensure that the company can best resume activity.
Solidarity fund established that guarantees 100% remuneration for all employees. The ‘Covid-19 solidarity fund’ aims to afford the same guarantees (100% salary) to workers and ETAMs* in partial activity as enjoyed by certain senior staff and executives who, thanks to more favorable sector-related provisions, are currently automatically entitled to 100% of salary compensation. Thus senior staff will be the first to be called on for support by way of a deduction of 2 days’ leave, with workers and ETAM staff only losing one day off.
