A new rule unfavorable to nearly six million French people has just come into force.
The change is not immediately perceptible, or even on a daily basis. And yet. From the 1ster Mars, all civil servants, without exception, are struck by a new rule that penalizes them. This strikes their wallet directly. A modification denounced by all the unions, which have not been heard.
Indeed, a decrease in income from civil servants on sick leave has been acted. Not working now has financial consequences on agents, whatever they are: both in the territorial public service, as the hospital or that of state. Liner made the calculations of the impact on the budget of the 5.7 million people concerned.
Until now, when an official was on sick leave for less than three consecutive months (a few days for an influenza for example), Social Security paid him all of his salary. Only one day, as a deficiency, was not paid to him.
This time is over. Now the security pays only 90% of the salary to civil servants who are on sick leave for 90 days or less. And this, with the maintenance of the day of deficiency.
For example, Charlotte is a school teacher. She earns 2,000 euros net per month. In April, she is forced to take five days of sick leave. Over these five days, four will be paid to him because a day of deficiency applies. However, the remuneration of these four days will only be equivalent to 90% of his usual salary.
Thus, April with 22 days worked (Monday-Vendredi), 17 will be paid 100% and 4 to 90%. At the end of the month, his salary will therefore only be 1873 euros. By way of comparison, with the only day of deficiency and a total maintenance of her remuneration, she would have received 1909 euros.
Despite the reprobation of the unions, these new provisions came into force a few days ago in order, according to the government, to achieve 900 million euros in savings per year.
