Finally proof of runoff?

The Leclerc centers generating profits will distribute 25% of the pre-tax profits to their employees, who remained overwhelmingly "loyal" at the height of the Covid-19 health crisis, Michel-Edouard Leclerc, the boss of the sign, announced on Friday.

“We prefer, even if it is more costly for the company from a tax standpoint, to involve all the staff,” he declared on France Info.

“Most Leclerc centers have paid the Macron bonus but we are doing better.

The 1,000 euros are ephemeral.

At the beginning, there were a lot of absentees in Alsace, where there was a very strong cluster, but all the same, all our staff were loyal, ”he added when the government had encouraged them at the end of March. employers to pay a tax-exempt bonus to reward mobilization.

No social plan, but ...

The boss of the sign also welcomed the good performance of its supermarkets which have gained 350,000 consumers since the release of confinement.

“They found the price differences, he said.

The second effect is the drive.

For sanitary and practical reasons, it has been very successful.

Ours is + 50%.

17% of the 1.1 million additional consumers returned to their traditional stores while the others were divided between our hypermarkets, our drives, our home sales formulas ”.

“Through the drive, we learned digital.

We anticipated the thing 7-8 years ago.

As we are the leader on the drive, we were able to finance the 3rd stage, webcommerce ”, he added to explain the difficulties of certain competitors.

His group is "doing well", Michel-Edouard Leclerc ensures that there will be "no social plans".

“I'm not saying there won't be a breakage, a little bit of adjustment.

But we are hiring.

For 10 years, we have recruited 3,000 people per year.

This year, we will take it more slowly because there is a Covid effect.

Out of 1,200 points of sale, around ten centers are paddling a bit, ”he continued.
