Article 7 provides for a future simplified payroll, in which the main amounts will be presented, gross, net, income tax, employer and labor social contributions. A “development proposal” presented in the April press kit clearly highlighted two main lines: the total cost to the employer and the net cost. The employee may, upon request, have access to the detailed version.
“Can we really talk about simplification when at the same time we ask employers, every month, to collect, store and make available to workers all the information that is the subject of this same simplification?” asked rapporteur Yves Bleunven (Union Center, Morbihan). “Nothing is being simplified at all; On the other hand, there will be a computer maintenance cost, an accounting cost,” adds Pascale Gruny (LR, Aisne).
“It will be the administration that will do it, it will no longer be the businessman”
“The objective is that these payrolls are no longer completed by the employer,” responded Bruno Le Maire, explaining that the details of the information should appear in “what will be called the national social rights portal, which will be implemented in 2027 in the latest . “It will be the administration that will do it, it will no longer be the businessman,” he insisted.
Raymonde Poncet Monge (ecologist, Rhône) considered that the project, by presenting the global amount of contributions paid by the employee, risked generating the reaction “oh, what a lot!”. while when illness, unemployment, etc. As detailed, employees “better see the risks behind them.” She considered the measure “ideological.” “I think they are going to lead a political offensive on the salary issue,” said Fabien Gay (CRCE, Seine-Saint-Denis). “At some point, you will say, there is the gross salary, there is the net salary, and we have to bring the gross closer to the net,” he predicted.
