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.
Mechanical glass manufacturing agreement (IDCC 1821). Absent a published PSE scale, the statutory/collective severance indemnity applies as a minimum.
Underlying formula · Collective indemnity by seniority; the legal minimum (1/4 month of salary per year up to 10 years, then 1/3 month beyond) is guaranteed.
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 provided by the agreement; 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 · Mechanical glass manufacturing agreement (IDCC 1821) — Managers: 3 months. Workers/technicians: 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.
