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.
Supra-legal indemnity confirmed (above the most favorable of legal, collective and Casino group agreement). Exact amount not published.
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.
