Elior France — collective catering (companies, schools, hospitals, EHPAD)
Rationale & context
PSE announced end-September 2024 at Elior France. 1,888 cuts of ~17,000 France headcount = ~11% — higher relative impact rate than Sodexo (7%). Elior is France's no.2 in collective catering behind Sodexo. Context: same post-Covid structural crisis as Sodexo (corporate restaurant attendance collapsed with remote work), worsened by Elior's own financial difficulties (CEO rotations, recovery plan, high debt). First move of the 2024 collective catering sector wave — Sodexo announced its own PSE ~1 month later.

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.
Collective Catering indemnity (IDCC 1266)
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.
Details not public
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 · Collective catering agreement (IDCC 1266) — Employees: 1 to 2 months by seniority. 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.
