Employees leaving their position will be presumed to have resigned. The National Assembly voted majority and LR amendments on Wednesday to limit access to unemployment insurance, despite criticism from the left.
Unemployment insurance is in principle reserved for people who are involuntarily deprived of employment. For those who resign, there are some limited exceptions. But a dismissal for abandonment of the position constitutes a dismissal for fault and does not currently deprive the dismissed person of his right to benefit from unemployment insurance, although the abandonment of the position is “voluntary”.
“An ever-increasing phenomenon”
The Government, through the voice of the delegate minister Carole Grandjean, declared itself in favor of this measure on job abandonment, “a phenomenon that is constantly increasing”. These employees no longer come to work, without justification, and end up being fired by their employer. Then they can receive unemployment insurance.
The left has taken issue with this phenomenon, citing “fringe” cases and advocating not “weakening employee protection.” “What is the cause of these labor abandonments?” asked the communist Pierre Dharréville, thinking about working conditions.
On the other hand, Dominique Da Silva (Renaissance), sur la même ligne qu’Horizons et MoDem, in favor of abandoning post disorganization of enterprises and qu’il s’agissait de prévoir une mesure “claire et juste” pour each.
In a stormy environment again, the socialists assured that the adopted measure was unconstitutional, and incompatible with the norms of the International Labor Organization (ILO).
