Resignation, dismissal, overtime pay, refund of transportation costs... Which can be either employee or employer, it is often difficult to know its rights and obligations in social matters, as the legislation is complex. The deal could change, however, from 1 January 2020, with the implementation of the Code of the digital work which, pursuant to the orders Pénicaud, has the ambition to facilitate the access to social rights.
"This is a huge challenge"
"On the themes the most frequent, such as the hiring and termination of contracts, the idea is to provide answers simple and concise," explains Laurent Vilboeuf, the number two in the general Direction of the work. For example, an employee who started work at a bakery will be able to ask if his trial period can be renewed and get a response in just a few clicks. "It is a huge challenge," admits Laurent Vilboeuf. The task is actually large! With the help of artificial intelligence, it is to develop a digital tool easy-to-use, didactic, which dissects and explains the labour Code. But also, many of the collective agreements governing the working conditions of employees of enterprises in the same sector of activity.
suffice to say that the teams of the general Directorate of labour as well as computer services of the social ministries are working hard in order to meet this challenge in time. The citizens, themselves, are strongly encouraged to use a "test version" that is already online and give their opinion.
