🇬🇧 English

This French government order makes mandatory the provisions of Amendment No. 3 dated 5 December 2025 to the 16 December 2015 agreement on supplementary social protection (prévoyance) within the national collective bargaining agreement for retail watchmaking and jewellery. The order extends the agreement to all employers and employees covered by the 17 December 1987 collective agreement. A specific reservation applies to Article 12.2 (as modified): the obligation to pay contributions only begins after the seniority period defined by the social partners in Article 3 of the original agreement (as amended). The order references paragraph 1250 of the Official Bulletin of Social Security, stating that access to guarantees is equivalent to both the contribution obligation and access to benefits. The extension takes effect from the date of publication of the order for the remaining duration of the agreement.
