Sight of sight screws for conventional ruptures. Taking into account that this means of leaving a company when an employee is under permanent contract has been “without creating” of its initial objectives, the Minister of Labor and Employment plans to harden the system, so that it is a little less attractive.
In addition, the beneficiaries of conventional ruptures would be mainly “people who have higher daily subsidies and remain more unemployed, compared to those who undergo dismissals,” he insisted.
Extension of the deficiency period before touching unemployment
Among the alleged positions on the table, in particular is an extension of the period of deficiency, that is, the period during which the employee has negotiated a contractual termination with his company does not have the right to unemployment insurance.
The current regulations provide the same deadlines as for dismissed employees, a minimum period of seven days. The more the employee perceives the compensation paid for his company under his contractual termination, the more the deficiency period before having the right of unemployment is growing. However, the maximum delay is limited to a maximum of five months.
It remains to be seen how this period of deficiency will be extended. Will the government change the minimum terminal, today was established after seven days? Or the maximum terminal was currently arrested at 5 months? Nothing has been decided yet. “The discrepancy of the deficiency of conventional ruptures is in fact an idea,” acknowledges the cabinet of the Minister of Labor and Employment with BFM businesses, but “framing documents (in order to negotiations with social partners, the editor’s note) are quite open and not prescriptive,” it is said.
However, one thing is safe: according to the information transmitted by the Ministry of Labor to BFM business, if the period of deficiency before reaching unemployment is well extended for the beneficiaries of a contractual breakup, there is no doubt to extend it for employees who are purely and simply fired.
Unions far from being open to negotiations
However, unions are far from being open to negotiations. First, only the CFDT and the CFTC accepted the invitation of the Minister of Labor and Employment to meet with it on Monday, July 21, before taking advantage of the summer period to lift the foot.
Regarding the extension of the deficiency period to achieve unemployment in case of conventional breakup, “they did not give anything precise,” confirms BFM Business, Jocelyne Cabanal, National Secretary of the CFDT who participated in meetings with CFDT leader Marylise Léon. Jocelyne Cabalal especially denounces a “biased debate” about conventional ruptures.
“We know that there are social plans that do not say their name. It is a solution to be easy for many companies,” continues Jocelyne Cabalal, who believes that companies must be “more involved” in the reflection on conventional ruptures.
Instead of organizing a voluntary output plan (PDV) or an Economic Social Plan (PSE), certain companies that seek to reduce their workforce favor conventional breakup, the collective call (RCC) because it does not require economic reasons to justify with the competent authorities to establish it.
The problem node is that “employers sometimes use it to make disguised dismissals, just like employees exert pressure on their employer to obtain it instead of renouncing, even when they have already found a job elsewhere,” Kabril Chabanier, CFTC president, CFTC president, with BFM businesses.
Towards an anti-bayrou mobilization at the beginning of the school year?
However: at this stage exchanges with the ministry, there is no guarantee that negotiations, to reform unemployment insurance, by introducing this reflection on conventional ruptures, really remain. “I don’t know even if we are going, since they want to harden everything!” Warns Cyril Chabaier.
Tuesday, eight unions – CFDT, CGT, FO, CFE -CGC, CFTC, UNSA, FSU and SOLIDAIRE, launched a petition on the Change.org platform to obtain the abandonment of the budgetary measures presented on July 15 by Prime Minister François Bayrou, which points to no less than 43.8 billion euros in savings of 2026.
This request occurs only a few days after a meeting in Visio, organized on July 18, between the CFDT, the CGT, FO, the CFE-CGC and the CFTC that do not exclude Unite around a mobilization between Union at the beginning of the school year.
