Higher wages, golden parachute: the excesses of Paris Habitat – Le Figaro

The first social landlord Ile-de-France gives many benefits to its employees and especially its management, according to detailed inspection reports by Le Parisien.

The tenants of social housing managed by Paris Habitat will be surprised to learn that their rents finance the largesse of their social landlord. Paris Habitat, which manages a fleet of 122,000 units reserved for modest people in Ile-de-France, offers its 3,000 employees, and especially its leadership, too many benefits, denounced several inspection reports released by Le Parisien Today . ‘hui en France this Saturday

These benefits include high average wages: 2,300 euros gross per month for a guardian to 3170 euros for the rest of the staff. From 2008-2014, wages have jumped 20%! In addition to the base salary, each employee receives a 13th month, a target bonus and profit-sharing bonus (which reached 1,048 euros on average in 2014). Last year, employees have even received a bonus of 200 euros to welcome the ISO certification Paris Habitat. Employees can still inflate their earnings by redeeming leave seven days on seven weeks they receive in the year (plus a week for those who go outside school holidays). The 22 days off can also be redeemed. The whole “the unbeatable price of one day bought equal a day’s wages,” says Le Parisien . In total, employees can benefit from the equivalent of a month’s salary in addition.

But it is mainly the conditions of remuneration of management that have boosted the Interministerial Mission of social housing inspection (Miilos) in 2013 and the General Inspectorate of the city of Paris in 2014. In the Parisien, one learns that the territorial directors or branch receive a salary of between 6,000 and 7,000 euros net per month (not including benefits listed above). The deputy directors receive remuneration for their part moving between 9,500 and 10,000 euros. More surprisingly, the CEO of Habitat Paris, Stéphane Dambrine, who took his post in 2011, obtained the payment of a fee of 207,000 euros gross per year, or about 14,000 euros net per month. He enjoyed the same benefits granted to the rest of the staff until the Miilos declares his employment contract “irregular” and forces him to go without. Stéphane Dambrine retained his golden parachute of € 500,000 in case of dismissal. He assured the Parisien that his contract has nothing irregular and has been validated by the board of directors.

His deputy CEO, Gilles Romano, is not far behind. Despite a salary of 9000 euros per month, it houses since 2000 in one of the housing of the Paris Habitat Park. It occupies more precisely a four-room apartment in the XII arrondissement. It is not social housing, says Le Parisien but an “intermediate” housing (PLI) where rent remains low compared to the market: about 1000 euros. The deputy director defended in the columns of the newspaper ensuring that it was a “four-piece false.” It also explains a part of executives entitled to this type of housing, and adds that he will be retired “shortly” and that in fact his income “will fall.”

Meanwhile, Gilles Romano is not required to pay surloyer and can not be deported because the law Molle, which can dislodge tenants earning at least twice the HLM income ceilings for two consecutive years does not apply to LIP.

“We must do away with abuses shocking”

Alerted on the subject, Ian Brossat, PCF deputy mayor of Paris, in charge of housing, therefore calls for a broadening of the scope of this law and the PLI non-contracted housing. The mayor of Paris has sent his side end of 2015, a letter as a call to order in Paris Habitat and three other social landlords. She asks them to commit to greater transparency in the allocation of housing, a struggle against “the park’s occupancy anomalies” and a “tight grip” of the payroll. The management teams are also called the “fiscal restraint”. Objective: “away with shocking abuse,” says Ian Brossat.

The controls will also be strengthened by the creation of the National Agency of social housing control (Ancols) whose powers are greatly expanded.
