Pensions: for the employment of older adults, the deputies validate in commission an “index” considered “useless” by the opposition

This “index” system, included in article 2 of the pension reform, would be mandatory from 2023 for companies with more than 1,000 employees, and for those with more than 300 employees from 2024. It aims to improve “the location of employees at the end of their career”.

After more than a day of discussions, the deputies approved this Tuesday night in commission the creation of a “senior index” in companies to improve “the place of employees at the end of their career”, “an empty shell” according to the opposition. to pension reform.

More than 5,100 amendments are still on the Social Affairs Committee’s menu on Wednesday, a number that leaves no chance for MPs to pass them before the 8pm deadline. The bill will then be discussed in the chamber. From next monday.

“Why not a toll free number while we’re at it?”

Employers would be subject to financial penalties if this index is not published, but no obligation of result is established in terms of hiring older people.

An “empty shell” for the environmentalist deputy Sébastien Peytavie. “Why not a toll-free number while we’re at it?” scoffed communist deputy Sébastien Jumel.

Left-leaning MPs have tried to get more enforcement action against the companies, without success. The commission also rejected a series of amendments aimed at lowering the threshold of 300 employees, coming from the left but also from the presidential camp.

The initial copy of this index has been slightly retouched. Contrary to the opinion of the Renaissance rapporteur, MPs on Tuesday night adopted an amendment by her colleague Astrid Panosyan aimed at making the employment of older people a social dialogue issue in the mandatory annual negotiations.

Alors that the majority president in appealing to “a minimum of responsibility”, the écologiste Sandrine Rousseau has assured that “les Françaises et les Français comprennent très bien pourquoi nous faisons obstruction à un projet de loi qui fait l’objet de l’obstruction On the street”.
