Payment of a one-off bonus in 2025

On an exceptional basis, all employees under contract and among the employer's workforce as at 1 January 2025, including those whose contract is suspended for reasons such as parental leave or unpaid leave (article 18), are eligible for a one-off bonus, with the exception of employees who have opted to take unpaid leave as specified in article 19 of this agreement. The one-off bonus, worth €3,670, is payable with the salary for the month of June 2025, or where applicable at the end of the employment contract between January 2025 and June 2025.

The employer in place as at 1 January 2025 will pay the one-off bonus in full, and the employee may no longer claim it from other employers afterwards. The one-off bonus is prorated according to the employee's average working time during the reference period between 1 January 2025 and 30 June 2025. Where applicable, the reference period will be adjusted according to the end date of the employment contract, falling between January 2025 and June 2025.

The condition for granting the one-off bonus is the existence of an employment contract in force as at 1 January 2025. In this respect, the date on which the contract takes effect is taken into account, and not the date of signature. Any employment contract having taken effect after 1 January at midnight is excluded from this provision. The one-off bonus is not due in the event of dismissal for gross misconduct.
