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.
3-month additional bonus for employees with immediate CDI/CDD/CTT project. For retirement RCC departures: standard retirement indemnity + 6 additional months.
Cap
Maximum amount an employee can receive, even with very long seniority.
Overall cap: 24 months of salary
Notice period
Period between the dismissal notification and the actual departure. The employee remains paid during this time, whether they work or not.
Not applicable — direct departure after RCC scheme acceptance
Example — rough estimate
For a manager (cadre) 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.
