Retail chain gives store chiefs full bonus-to-base conversion

The parties to a 10 June 2026 accord on the négociation annuelle obligatoire 2026 have revised its article 1-4 by avenant n° 1Legifrance, correcting an unintended side effect on store directors (directeurs et directrices magasin) receiving the Paris-area premium. The original accord folded individual variable pay (rémunération variable individuelle, RVI) into base salary at differentiated rates — 10% for directors without the Paris premium, 8.93% for those with it — so the euro amount of the Prime Paris et IDF would not mechanically rise. That design held the premium flat but left premium recipients with a smaller base-salary increase, disadvantaging them on everything computed off base pay: the PPC, intéressement, participation, Sunday and public-holiday uplifts, and every other base-linked element.

The avenant replaces articles 1-4-a, 1-4-b (Cas 2) and 1-4-c with a single rule: every store director gets 100% RVI reintegration, i.e. base salary multiplied by 1.10, smoothed over the year, whether or not they receive the Prime Paris et IDFLegifrance. For recipients, the premium rate itself is adjusted instead: the Prime Paris et IDF moves from 12% to 10.91% of the new base salaryLegifrance (12% divided by 1.10), so its euro amount is unchangedLegifrance. The avenant's worked example on a EUR 2,000 base shows the mechanics: EUR 2,000 plus 12% (EUR 240) becomes EUR 2,200 plus 10.91% (EUR 240), for a monthly total rising from EUR 2,240 to EUR 2,440.

The new equity principle states the outcome plainly: premium recipients now enjoy the full reintegration in the calculation basis of the PPC, intéressement, participation, Sunday and holiday uplifts and all other base-assessed elements, on the same terms as their counterpartsLegifrance. All other provisions of the 10 June 2026 accord stand, including Cas 1 for directors without the premium, which is unchanged.

Timing operates on two levels. Collectively, the new reintegration terms apply from 1 June 2026 with retroactivity to 1 January 2026, on the same conditions as the June accordLegifrance. Individually, each director's contractual amendment takes effect on 1 July 2026 or the date they sign their own avenant if laterLegifrance — a contractual pay element requiring the employee's express agreement — but the 1 January 2026 retroactivity applies in every caseLegifrance, so no director is penalised by the gap. The revision is made under article 8-3 of the accord and articles L. 2222-5 and L. 2261-7-1 du code du travail. The avenant is filed with the DIRECCTE de Lille and the Roubaix employment-tribunal registry and posted for all staff; it was drawn up at Croix.
