Among the new endorsements adopted by the SYNTEC branch partners, one specifies the rules applicable to work performed on Sundays and public holidays.
This amendment has been extended and therefore applies to all companies covered by the SYNTEC agreement.
If your company makes its employees work on Sundays and/or public holidays, you will need to be aware of these new contractual provisions.
Who is affected by this rider?
All employees covered by the Syntec agreement, whatever their classification, are affected by this rider.
What changes does this endorsement bring?
The new amendment to the SYNTEC agreement differentiates between occasional and regular work on Sundays and public holidays. Employees benefit from different bonuses depending on this distinction.
Work on Sundays and public holidays is considered normal for the employee from the 16th Sunday or public holiday worked during the calendar year.
For example: an employee who has worked 13 Sundays and 4 public holidays in the course of a year is entitled to the exceptional Sunday and public holiday scheme for the first 15 Sundays or public holidays worked. From the 16th Sunday onwards, the usual Sunday and public holiday working arrangements apply.
Important: these terms and conditions apply to all companies in the Syntec branch, even those benefiting from a permanent derogation in their own right.
What extra pay applies to work on Sundays and public holidays?
These supplements vary according to whether work on Sundays and public holidays is usual or exceptional.
-
- For exceptional work, these hours will be paid at 100% extra.
Important: employees on a fixed day rate also benefit from this bonus, and these days are also taken into account when calculating the fixed rate.
- For regular work: employees receive an additional 25% of their remuneration. This is also the case for employees on a fixed day rate, and these days will be taken into account in the calculation of their fixed rate.
Special cases: digital and events sectors
While these provisions apply to all companies covered by the SYNTEC collective bargaining agreement, certain companies in the digital and events sectors benefit from special provisions, in application of the endorsements relating to these types of activity.
