MasOrange and the unions have extended by one week the voluntary registration period for the employment regulation file (ERE) for 650 people that the company had launched and which ended this Thursday, after achieving only 65.23% of adhesions. In total, 424 workers have signed up. The rest of the squad will have until November 13 to fill the quota. Otherwise, the company would proceed to carry out forced dismissals.
Of the 424 voluntary registrations to the ERE, 147 correspond to early retirements and 277 to incentivized dismissals, as detailed by union sources. In addition, half of those registered signed up in the last two days.
In the middle of last October, MasOrange – a company resulting from the merger of Orange and MásMóvil – closed the agreement with UGT and Fetico for this collective dismissal, which did not have the support of CCOO, which rejected the agreed conditions. In this context, the company communicated its intention to execute this ERE on September 3, with an initial proposal of a maximum of 795 departures after detecting “organizational duplications” due to the integration of the Orange and MásMóvil staff.
The conditions of the ERE
The conditions agreed in the ERE include compensation of between 34 and 47 days per year worked with a limit of 24 monthly payments for people who join voluntarily. In addition, employees with less than eight years of service in the company and who present themselves to leave voluntarily will receive a bonus of 3,000 euros, a figure that increases to 8,000 euros for employees with a seniority of between nine and 12. years and which increases to 15,000 euros for those who have been in the company for more than 12 years. Likewise, the compensation limit will be 300,000 euros, compared to the 250,000 euros that the company had proposed in its previous proposal.
The agreement reached also states that workers between 56 and 57 years old with a length of service in the company equal to or greater than nine years will be able to benefit from the early retirement plan, while, in the case of people between 58 and 62 years old, Seniority must be equal to or greater than five years. As for the income from the early retirement plan, these are 80% of the regulatory salary.
Another element that appears in the agreement is the maintenance of medical insurance for two years for those employees affected by the ERE who have it, while, in the case of early retirement, the maintenance of medical insurance (if they have this benefit) will be up to age 63. Added to this is, among other things, an employment guarantee until June 30, 2026, although this issue is subject to “there being no serious economic or structural reasons” that could motivate a new collective dismissal process in the company. .
For those who leave the company forcibly, the compensation will be between 33 and 45 days, with a limit of 24 monthly payments.
