Convention collective nationale de la métallurgie du 7 février 2022 (IDCC 3248) — barème unique des salaires minima hiérarchiques (annexe 6-1)

Signed 20 Feb 2026 by UIMM, CFE-CGC, FO and CFDT (CGT listed but did not sign); extended by arrêté of 20 May 2026 (JORF 5 June 2026) per Légifrance status line -> binding on all employers in scope. Scale applies 'à partir de l'année 2026'. Values are annual for 35h effective/week; they are adapted pro rata to actual working time. Employees on an annual forfait (hours or days) get +15% or +30% (art. 139) — given as annual_forfait_15pct / annual_forfait_30pct exactly as published. Group F: during the first 6 years of professional experience a reduced 'débutant' scale applies (includes the +5%/+8% at 2/4 years); from 6 years the general F11/F12 values apply. SMIC check: annual SMIC equivalent at 35h since 1 June 2026 = 12 x 1,867.02 = 22,404.24 EUR -> classes A1 (21,980) and A2 (22,100) are BELOW the SMIC and the SMIC applies (the SMIC is also due month by month). B3 (22,710) and above are above. Between 1 Jan and 31 May 2026 (SMIC 21,876.36/yr) all classes were above. Union sources (FTM-CGT, June 2026) report the UIMM agreed to reopen 2026 SMH talks in September 2026; no signed revised scale could be found as of 2026-11-11 (web search budget ran out before this could be re-checked a second time) — re-check UIMM/Légifrance. The 2027 scale is normally negotiated around the turn of the year. SMIC (legal minimum) in force on 2026-11-11: 12.31 EUR/h gross, 1,867.02 EUR/month for 35h (151.67h), since 1 June 2026 (arrete of 22 May 2026, JO 24 May 2026; previously 12.02 EUR/h / 1,823.03 EUR from 1 Jan 2026). The SMIC overrides any conventional minimum below it. On 9 Nov 2026 the government announced an early SMIC increase for 1 Dec 2026 (reported ~+1.6%); no arrete was published as of 2026-11-11, so the exact amount is not recorded here. A statutory revalorisation follows on 1 Jan 2027.
