Their names are Mamadou, Tarik, Jennifer, Laurent… For years, they have carried out interim assignments in a sumptuous Parisian hotel, located next to the Opéra Garnier, being deprived of part of the remuneration. which they were entitled to. The damage they suffered has just been repaired by a decision of the Paris industrial tribunal. Rendered on February 2, the judgment was only sent to those concerned a few days ago.
The dispute concerns 42 people, made available to the Grand Hôtel Intercontinental de Paris, by their employer – in this case, the temporary employment company Adecco. The majority of these employees worked – very often daily – as row managers and banquet staff. Several of them are regulars, their first collaborations dating back to the 2000s.
Over time, they realized that they did not benefit from the bonuses granted to the permanent staff of the establishment: heavy load bonus, thirteenth and fourteenth month, attendance bonus… In addition, transport costs n were not reimbursed to the temporary workers, even if Adecco invoiced the Grand Hotel for the compensation due to them. Last anomaly: these 42 “subscribers” to short contracts bought their protective shoes, while the temporary employment company should have provided them with a pair.
“This affair has symbolic value”
Supported by the CGT, they contacted a lawyer and seized the industrial tribunal in July 2019. This court has therefore just given a favorable response to a large part of their requests, in the name of the principle of equal treatment: as indicates the decision, “The remuneration of the temporary worker may not be lower than that which would be received by (…) an employee of equivalent qualification occupying the same job ” in “The user company” – the Grand Hotel, in this case.
Adecco is ordered to pay each of them amounts ranging from a little over 1,750 euros to nearly 9,000 euros.
The prud’homaux judges also ruled that he belonged to Adecco ” provide [des] safety shoes “ to the 42 temporary workers and to pay them a ” transportation allowance “. In total, Adecco is ordered to pay each of them amounts ranging from a little over 1,750 euros to nearly 9,000 euros, to which are added interest and procedural costs. In this total amount, 1,000 euros are awarded as damages “For non-compliance with the rules on equal treatment”.
