Airbus has decided to take into account the surge in inflation.
The group will thus pay, to its employees throughout the world, a bonus of 1,500 euros gross in its main countries of establishment, according to a message to the employees.
"The Airbus Executive Committee has decided that an exceptional bonus will be paid before the end of 2022 to all Airbus employees up to and including Senior Manager level", i.e. the vast majority of its employees, says the European group.
Work-study students will benefit from the measure
The bonus, “exceptional”, will amount to 1,500 euros or pounds gross “per employee in the four founding countries (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain)”, adds the company.
In other countries, the bonus will be calculated according to the “local average base salary” to “reflect the decision applied to the four founding countries”.
Airbus employed more than 126,000 people worldwide at the end of 2021, including 46,000 in France, 43,000 in Germany, 12,000 in Spain and more than 9,000 in the United Kingdom.
The European giant plans to hire at least 6,000 people worldwide in 2022. Work-study students will also benefit from the measure.
"The volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity that characterize our environment have been further reinforced in recent months by the energy crisis and inflation," recalls the company, for which the grant of this bonus aims to "contribute both to the maintenance of a committed state of mind and the purchasing power of each and everyone".
In France, the wage negotiations concluded at the start of the year provide for a salary increase, applicable on July 1, of 6.8% over two years, accompanied by a review clause at the start of 2023.
