Carrefour is planning to increase the salaries of 95 percent of its “basic” employees following syndicate talks, the retailer informs.

The pay rises will be between 16 and 21 percent and will take effect starting this month and will complement benefits received by employees, such as meal tickets worth RON 197 per month, health insurance, holiday and loyalty premiums, store coupons for Easter, Christmas or other special events, financial aid and additional vacation days for special events in the lives of employees.
