Ex-SFR Business Distribution staff move onto UES SFR terms

Former SFR Business Distribution employees whose contracts moved to SFR SA now work under a single harmonised status.Legifrance A substitution accord between the UES SFR companies and the unions CFDT F3C, CFTC Média+ and UNSA COM replaces the old company agreements, usages and unilateral commitments with the UES SFR regime for job classifications, pay, working time and mealsLegifrance.

The background is a merger: SFR Business Distribution was absorbed into SFR SA with effect on 1 January 2023Legifrance, and every contract transferred automatically under article L. 1224-1 of the Code du travailLegifrance. As a substitution agreement within the meaning of article L. 2261-14, the accord ends all SFR Business Distribution enterprise agreements, usages and unilateral commitments when it enters into forceLegifrance. Both companies apply the convention collective nationale des TélécommunicationsLegifrance, so branch-level provisions are unaffectedLegifrance.

Every transferred job is repositioned in the reference list of the UES SFR classification accord of 31 December 2010, using the branche agreement's criteriaLegifrance; where nothing matched, new jobs faithful to the work actually done were created and attached to a group. Each employee learns the new title and group individually in writing within two months of entry into forceLegifrance, by letter or by contract amendment where pay changes, and payslip wording follows from the next month.

Pay moves to gross base salary plus individual variable, with a special path for classifications F and GLegifrance: staff moving to F1 have 2% of variable reintegrated into base salaryLegifrance, while new F2 staff keep a 0 to 15% band paying 10% at full achievementLegifrance. The recalled UES SFR bands are 0 to 9% for groups B, C and DLegifrance and 0 to 10% for group ELegifrance, each paying 6% at full achievementLegifrance, and 0 to 12%Legifrance paying 8% for F1Legifrance. The base is gross base salary actually received over the calendar year, paid with the March payroll of the following yearLegifrance and prorata on departure; the variable never reduces base salary. Amendments go out within one month of entry into force with a one-month reflection periodLegifrance, and anyone refusing, expressly or by silence within two months, keeps the existing structure as a closed populationLegifrance.

Working time follows the UES SFR framework accord of 4 February 2010 for all staffLegifrance, on-call terms from the 11 October 2011 accord, and the Compte Epargne Temps under the 13 July 2011 accord, applied since 1 January 2023Legifrance. Forfait-jours staff work at most 209 days a year within the recalled statutory rest limitsLegifrance. Leave reference and taking periods follow the 4 February 2010 accord with prorata adjustment, the two fractionnement days included as a lump sum; seniority leave accrued under the 16 November 2017 SFD accord is frozen with no further accrualLegifrance. Old JRTT balances could be taken until 31 December 2023 onlyLegifrance, neither paid nor carried forwardLegifrance. Meals follow the 22 December 2022 UES accord, except that the itinerant commercial flat rate stays until the survival period expires and site-based staff with a company restaurant switch from tickets restaurant to the RIE subsidyLegifrance.

The accord runs indefinitelyLegifrance and takes effect once filing and publication are done, except for measures with their own dateLegifrance. It is filed with the DRIEETS and the Paris Conseil de Prud'hommes, published in the national database and posted on the intranet. Legal basis: accord de substitution relatif à l'adaptation du statut conventionnel des ex-collaborateurs de SFR Business DistributionLegifrance, articles L. 1224-1 and L. 2261-14 du Code du travail, convention collective nationale des Télécommunications.
