Thanks for the details.

The amount also depends on the employee (some employees can actually negotiate if they have the upper hand, others as you mention get what is in the contract). On top of that there may be provisions in the collective agreement (convention collective). An example is the collective agreement for metallurgy (CC Métallurgie - this is a French thing and the name is historical) where the lowest compensation is 50% of the salary computed over 12 months.
