Sites affected
Alliance Healthcare Répartition logistics platforms (Walgreens Boots Alliance subsidiary) — multiple French regions
Rationale & context
First PSE at Alliance Healthcare Répartition since 2013. AHR is one of three major French pharmaceutical wholesale-distributors (with OCP and CERP). Context: structural crisis of pharmaceutical distribution — margins crushed by continuous drug price decline, regulatory pressure, competition from new channels (parapharmacy, e-commerce). The distribution sector is historically protected in France by pharmaceutical regulation, but this protection is eroding. Symbolic case of the 2024-2025 'pharma wave' extending to a previously spared sub-sector.
Look here first
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.
Pharmaceutical Distribution collective indemnity (IDCC 1621)
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.
Information 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 · Pharmaceutical distribution agreement (IDCC 1621) — All categories: 1 to 2 months by seniority.
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.
