#TRST2606688ADecree of 26 March 2026 extending an agreement on the implementation of a profit-sharing scheme within the national collective bargaining agreement for specialized food retail
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree makes mandatory the provisions of the 21 October 2025 agreement on the establishment of a profit-sharing (participation) scheme for all employers and employees covered by the national collective bargaining agreement for specialized food retail (IDCC 3237). The agreement sets up mechanisms for calculating and distributing profit shares, including collective ceilings and options for different calculation formulas. Several articles are extended only with explicit reservations to ensure compliance with the French Labour Code, particularly regarding employer adhesion rights, revision procedures, and mandatory invitation of all representative trade unions to negotiations. References to PERCO are removed because the one-month withdrawal right applies only to PERECO plans. Certain collective ceiling provisions in the annexes are either restricted to the derogatory calculation formula or entirely excluded from the extension to align with legal limits in Articles L. 3324-2 and related provisions.
