Banco Sabadell has proposed a new reduction in the departures proposed in the Employment Regulation File (ERE) until 1,605, while CCOO has asked that the figure be reduced to 1,300 employees, according to union sources have informed Europa Press present at the meeting this Thursday.
The initial proposal contemplated the departure of 1,936 workersAlthough last week the entity lowered the proposed ERE by 206 jobs, to 1,730 exits.
In his new proposal, he reduces the figure by another 125 jobs, to 1,605 exits. This reduction would occur through the secondment of those over 63 who agreed to leave voluntarily and a quota of 25 paid voluntary leave.
What’s more, the entity improves the economic conditions of exit of the different groups, which includes those over 63 years of age, and seeks to facilitate exits through early retirement.
Specifically, the bank proposes that the group of workers who are between 56 and 62 years old would have an early retirement of 60% of their salary – compared to the previous 57% – with ceilings between 270,000 and 280,000 euros – versus the previous ceiling of 270,000 euros – with the special agreement up to 63 years of age.
Those over 63 years of age who want to join, a group previously not contemplated, would have a pre-retirement of 50% of the annual salary, while for those under 50 years of age they would have an indemnity of 33 days per year worked, with a maximum of 24 monthly payments, and a premium of 2,000 euros per three-year period. The previous proposal for this last group contemplated incentive cuts of 30 days of salary up to a maximum of 20 monthly payments.
Regarding the application of territorial quotas in case the surplus is not covered, Banco Sabadell would have proposed a quota of 25 55-year-olds, although only for the provinces where it was necessary, with an incentive of 60% of the annual salary up to 62 years.
In case of not being covered with 55-year-olds, the quota could apply to 25 employees between 50 and 54 years of age who would receive compensation of 33 days per year worked.
The entity would contemplate another quota of 25 special voluntary leaves of absence that would have 20% of the annual salary for three years.
Union proposal
For its part, CCOO has proposed to reduce the impact of the ERE to 1,300 people through internal relocations in BS Online and Fonomed, as well as the creation of remote business managers or functional mobility.
For the group of workers from 54 to 62 years old, the union proposes a pre-retirement of 75% of the annual salary until the age of 63, with a maximum limit of 350,000 euros.
In addition, it asks for an additional compensation of between 18,000 and 28,000 euros, among other incentives.
For the group between 50 and 53 years old, the union has proposed to the entity that incentivized leaves be applied six times 70% of the annual salary up to a maximum of 330,000 euros, while for those under 50 years of age, they ask for 40 days per year worked, with a maximum of 36 monthly payments.
For the group of people aged 63 and over, they have requested a pre-retirement of 20 days of annual salary per year of service and an indemnity of 12 months maximum.
Regarding the proposal for paid leave, they ask that it be applied to the entire workforce and that it be by mutual agreement. They ask for five years of duration, with a guarantee of return to the entity, and that 30% of the annual salary be given starting from a minimum of 12,000 per year.
Regarding mobility, CCOO affirms that it should be applied once all the options have been exhausted and in an exceptional and duly compensated manner. They ask that it be limited to 50 kilometers with a search system for a new center in a concentric and gradual way from the center or office that has been closed.
Finally, it has requested that all financial conditions be maintained for the group affected by the ERE, including those applied to loans and accounts.
