White smoke for the joint committee. The 7 deputies and 7 senators worked on the pension reform throughout the day. Their discussions, behind closed doors, resulted in a joint text that will be submitted to a vote by the Senate and the National Assembly on Thursday. Summary of the main measures.
• Postponement of the age of majority to 64 years
As expected, the parliamentarians gathered in a joint joint commission approved the famous article 7 of the pension reform project, which provides for the postponement of the legal age from 62 to 64 years.
The supporters of this lowering of the legal age were clearly the majority in the composition of this commission, bringing together 7 senators and 7 deputies, and as many substitutes.
• Abolition of certain special diets
First article ending special diets from EDF, French gas workers, RATP, notaries, the Banque de France and even members of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (Cese) was voted on by the joint committee. This will only affect new entrants, as provided in the “grandfather clause”.
• The 43 years of contributions, not for all long careers
A compromise was found in CMP on the 43 years of listing for long races. However, some will still have to contribute a little more, depending on their age at the start of their career and their day of birth, since it will always be necessary to have contributed 4 or 5 quarters before the expected age to benefit from this device. .
According to Olivier Faure, “in 32% of the situations of people who started between the ages of 15 and 21, the contribution period is strictly over 43 years. The contribution period is even equal to 44 years or more in 7.5% of cases!
• Experimentation of “CDI Seniors”
The exemption of contributions for the employer in the contracts of those over 60 years of age, nicknamed the “CDI Seniors”, was one of the topics of controversy surrounding the reform. The Senate introduced this device, against the advice of the government, which considered this measure too costly. The CMP finally found a compromise that provides for experimentation with the measure until 2026.
• The senior index
This tool will force employers of companies with more than 300 employees to collect and make public accurate data on those over 55 years of age that they have on their staff: number, percentage of these seniors in hiring, professional training that guarantees them… .
This provision was subject to an obligation to negotiate. Otherwise, an action plan will have to be implemented if the senior index deteriorates in companies. For the rest, no bonus-malus system is provided.
• Surcharge for mothers
The joint joint committee has held the bonus of 5% For mothers of at least one child with a full career over the age of 63. It will be from 1.25% quarterly up to 5% for women who exceed the 43 required annuities, due to the effect of the maternity and parenting quarters.
Until now, mothers who chose to leave after the legal age (62) had a 10% premium. With this modification, therefore, they will leave with 5% more to complete 2 additional years.
