Sites affected
Carrefour France HQs (Massy, Évry) + 273 former Dia France stores (acquired and restructured network)
Rationale & context
'Carrefour 2022' strategic plan announced by Alexandre Bompard in January 2018. Objectives: organizational simplification, structural cost reduction, digital transition acceleration. Two components: HQs PDV (2,400 positions, exclusively voluntary, signed April 2018) + Dia PSE (2,100 jobs on 273 former Dia France stores divested or closed). Majority agreements signed by FO, CFDT, CFE-CGC, CFTC. The HQs PDV agreement is FULLY PUBLIC on the CFDT-Carrefour site — one of the best documented PSE/PDV documents in France. Constitutes the precedent for the future 2023 HQs RCC (1,233 positions) — multi-wave pattern over 5 years.

Severance
What employees received — legal base, supra-legal, caps
Legal / collective indemnity
This is the minimum guaranteed by your sector's collective agreement. Paid to every affected employee on top of the statutory legal indemnity.
Retail (food predominant) collective indemnity (IDCC 2216)
Underlying formula ·
Supra-legal top-up
The amount negotiated by unions ON TOP OF the legal and collective minimum. Often the largest part of the package.
Full details in the 2018 PDV agreement (85-page PDF publicly available on the CFDT-Carrefour website). Section open to crowd-sourced contribution to break down exact amounts.
Notice period
Period between the dismissal notification and the actual departure. The employee remains paid during this time, whether they work or not.
Not specified in the PSE.
Collective minimum · Food-predominant retail agreement (IDCC 2216) — Employees: 1 month. Supervisors: 2 months. Managers: 3 months.
Example — rough estimate
For a non-manager employee with 5 years of seniority and €3,500 gross/month:
| Collective severance | (1.25 months × €3,500) | €4,375 |
| Supra-legal severance | — | Not publicly disclosed |
Very rough illustrative estimate. Your actual amount depends on your exact reference salary (max of 1/12 of last 12 months or 1/3 of last 3 months, bonuses included — art. R1234-4 French Labour Code), your precise status (manager/non-manager/ETAM), your hire date and your individual situation. For a personalized calculation of the legal indemnity, use the official French Ministry of Labour simulator.
