The Casino group, officially taken over on Wednesday March 27 by its new buyers, is demanding hundreds of euros in salary advances dating back more than thirty years from 900 of its employees, report France Bleu Saint-Étienne Loire, France Bleu La Rochelle and France Bleu Provence.

According to information from the France Bleu network, confirmed by the unions and the Casino group, these salary advances date from the takeover of several companies in the 1990s. Thirty years later, while the stores are in the process of being definitively sold, Hundreds of employees received a letter notifying them of this regularization.

According to the Casino group, contacted by France Bleu, this regularization is legal because “the document formalizing the salary advance provided for its due date at the time of the employee’s departure”. The stores having been sold, the group is therefore proceeding with this regularization. This requested money, sometimes up to several thousand euros, must be seized from time savings accounts (CET), or directly from their salary if employees have not contributed sufficiently.
