Newsletter #141 – Building closures – Value sharing – Assessment&Target – January-February CSE in brief – Did you know? Transportation allowance-CFDT membership

Closure of buildings over the end-of-year period

Management has informed the elected representatives that the Nice buildings will be closed, and that all employees will be required to take paid leave from Monday December 22 to Friday December 26, 2025. The elected representatives will give their opinion at the next CSE. 

Management justifies this decision on the grounds of Quality of Life at Work (QLW), environmental issues and management simplification. It argues that: 

  • Closing the buildings would enable:
    • Reduce energy consumption
    • Services (Concierge, Restaurant, Shuttle, etc.) to be put on standby.
  • Imposed paid leave* would enable:
    • A shared rest during a period of low activity.
    • “A break from work, with a view to resuming activity at the start of the following year under the best possible conditions.”
    • Simplified management of paid leave 
*Except in exceptional cases for business continuity (e.g. on-call) or for reasons of alternating custody. 

What do you think? Don’t hesitate to let us know what you think.

Value sharing on 2024 results

Value sharing enables employees to share in their company’s performance and capital. The following schemes exist in France (French site):

  • Participation is a compulsory employee savings scheme that redistributes part of the company’s profits to employees. Distribution is proportional to the basic salary. 
  • Profit-sharing “intéressement” is an optional bonus paid to employees based on the company’s performance or results.  
  • A profit-sharing supplement is an optional bonus in addition to a profit-sharing scheme. 
  • Employee shareholding is an optional distribution of company shares by the employer.

In AMADEUS France SAS, Value sharing is a Group policy that will be implemented in France in 2025 through the following measures:

  • Participation: 9% instead of 5.5% thanks to the CFDT’s signature of the NAO 2025 agreement for partial compensation of the IPBox effect. 
  • Company bonus (APP): According to the Amadeus group’s 2024 results, the multiplier coefficient for the base bonus is 174.5% (see details in the February 28 e-mail).
    • This bonus depends on the Global Grade (GG):
      • 6.98% for staff (4% x 174.5) (details in Ana Doval’s e-mail of March 3) 
      • 17.45% for GG 13-14 (10% x 174.5) 
      • 26.175% for GG 15 and + (15% x 174.5) 
    • It is paid in the form of profit-sharing, capped at 6.98%, with the remainder paid as a bonus (charged and taxed).  
  • Employee shareholding 
    • Allocation of free shares, blocked for 2 years for GG >= 11 when performance is assessed at EE (Exceeding Expectations) or OP (Outstanding Performances). 
    • The Share Match Plan (SMP) should be renewed, for more information see in Presentation Guide SMP 2024-26. 

The CFDT deplores the abolition in 2025 of the bonus introduced in 2020. As a reminder, the 2024 bonus was €1,300 for all (cf details in the previous newsletter). We’ll be putting this issue back on the table at the next round of negotiations. 

2024 assessment and 2025 target

January and February CSE in brief

What happened at the last two CSE 2024 meetings on January 27 and February 28.
