Telefónica Trims ERE to 5,961 Exits, Lifts Severance and Adds Voluntary Bonuses

Unions say the improved offer still falls short, pressing for fully voluntary exits.

Overview

  • The company cut the planned departures from 6,088 to 5,961 after a further 5% reduction in three central subsidiaries under negotiation.
  • Targets in those units fall to 340 in Telefónica S.A., 126 in Telefónica Global Solutions, and 210 in Telefónica Innovación Digital.
  • Severance for employees not eligible for early retirement rises to 47 days per year worked, capped at 36 monthly payments.
  • Telefónica proposes voluntary exit premiums tied to tenure ranging from €2,500 for under eight years to €9,000 for more than 24 years.
  • Early-retirement terms use cohort formulas, now including workers born in 1971, with up to 68% of regulatory salary to age 63 and 38% thereafter, as talks continue on broader guarantees including a CEV extension to 2030 for major filiales.
