Part-time unemployment support, reduced activity... which changes (or not) on the 1st June

UNEMPLOYED PART-CORONAVIRUS. The device of partial unemployment, put in place in the context of the health crisis of sars coronavirus and its economic impact, will evolve this Monday 1st June. The support of the State is going to fall, whereas aid in the framework of a reduced activity to be carried out. What will change for the companies and employees concerned ? It makes the point.

Summary Until when ? Definition Compensation Work and telework Training, and unemployment paid Holidays Retirement Employees home

[updated may 29, 2020 at 16h42] With a support less important to the State, but also a new system to supervise a restricted activity, the rules of the part-time unemployment, established provisionally in the framework of the crisis of the sars coronavirus will evolve from this Monday, 1st June. The first point awaited, the State is no longer going to support the full cost of the partial unemployment for the employees concerned. In a press release published on 25 may, the ministry of Labour stated that the support of partial unemployment by the State and Unédic would drop from 100% to 85% of the compensation paid to the employee. This compensation is paid in the limit unchanged 4.5 times the Minimum wage already in force hitherto. This means that, starting June 1, companies will pay 15% of the part-time unemployment for their employees, compared to 0% previously. The ministry of Labour that these measures are taken "to support the recovery of economic activity".

What will change for the employees concerned ? No one on the payroll. The allowance paid will be the same, or at least 70% of the gross salary, which represents 84% of the net salary. The minimum payment is the Minimum wage net. These measures still need to be specified and implemented by decree after adoption of a draft law to the Parliament. The text of the law should incorporate modulations, since the sectors of activity can only resume on the 1st of June will remain in full support of partial unemployment by the State and the Unedic. In particular, are concerned jobs related to tourism, the restoration or the culture. This is to'encourage the resumption of activity in the sectors which are not subjected to more constraints to the recovery, while preserving the sectors that remain closed or highly impacted," says the press release of the ministry of Labour. The 26 may in the evening, the Senate adopted this text.

aid from the State to the employees of the companies who will have a reduced activity

The Senate also passed a complementary amendment during the consideration of this draft law on "urgent provisions to address the epidemic of Covid-19". The amendment, adopted finally on may 28, provides for, inter alia, that enterprises will have the possibility to establish a "regime of activity partial specific subject of the conclusion of a collective agreement or of the development of a plan of reduced activity for continued employment ". The minister of Labour had stated that 12 million employees have benefitted from the scheme of part-time unemployment these last few weeks, and noting that the State could not "sustainably pay the salaries of millions of people in the private sector", the device had to evolve rapidly. However, in some sectors, the government believes that the recovery will be extremely gradual. "It seems to us necessary to put very quickly new devices for the preservation of the employment and skills which will allow these companies to adjust production capacity to the decline in function of the application, to limit the social and economic costs while preserving jobs," she explained. In sum, companies faced with an activity that is reduced will decrease by agreement with the trade unions working time, moderate wage, provided that it maintains fully the job, with help from the State which will complement to make up a portion of the loss of purchasing power," said Muriel Pénicaud. There would therefore be a partial loss of income for the workers concerned by this reduced activity, the State is not committing itself to compensate for that part of the loss. The automobile and aeronautical industries may be particularly affected.

That became the part-time unemployment, the 1st of June ?

The part-time unemployment is not going to stop suddenly. The compensation of employees will not decline in the coming weeks . On the other hand, it is well question to adapt the system in order to decrease the support of the State. How that will occur ? An ordinance was adopted by the Council of ministers allowing that activity partial can be requested for a job , and not only at the collective level. We speak of part-time unemployment, individual . Attention, it is subject to a company agreement or a notice of the CSE . In practical terms, this means that a part of the workforce of the company will be able to resume the work, while the other will remain at the technical unemployment. Goal, allow companies to adapt their activity to the economic recovery.

Another aspect : the support rates of the State. Currently, the State pays 100% of the compensation of the salariés to partial unemployment, in the limit of 4.5 times the Minimum wage. This level will gradually be lowered, so that employers will be forced to assume part of the cost of technical unemployment from the 1st of June. On 25 may, the ministry of Labour has clarified that the support will go through the State and the Unedic will be increased from 100% to 85% starting from the 1st of June. The Senate voted on this amendment on may 26.

Who can benefit from partial unemployment to 100% in June, and after ?

Some areas will continue to receive full support of the activity partial. But what are the sectors concerned ? Only companies that are affected by a prohibition administrative, will benefit from "the time that it will take", had said Muriel Pénicaud Wednesday last. This statement refers to the decree of march 15, 2020 supplementing the order of 14 march 2020. It will list all of the institutions which must be closed, such as museums, restaurants and clubs, is found to be non-essential to the life of the Nation. You can find the complete list on the site Vie-publique.fr. On the 1st June, the business of event management, catering, culture and tourism should further benefit from a full support by the State of the boomed part.

I guard my children, what awaits me ?

Since may 1,, employees off work for child care , as well as those in the stop because vulnerable , have been put on technical unemployment. Goal, to avoid a strong decrease of their salary. They will, therefore, receive compensation from their employer representative 84% of the net salary for the month of may, compared to 90% of their net salary in stopping the last month.

at the Meeting last Tuesday, Édouard Philippe has proposed a "re-opening very progressive" of primary and elementary schools as of may 11, "around the territory, and volunteer ", and with 15 students maximum per class. At the microphone of France Inter, the minister of Labour has indicated that parents who need to keep their children will continue to receive partial unemployment in the month of may. On the other hand, from the 1st of June, it will be necessary to obtain a certificate from the school attesting that he or she cannot accommodate your child , she does know. The executive considers that in June, the concept of volunteering will be a priori more valid. In the absence of proof, you will not be able to receive partial unemployment . Thus, you will be forced to ask days of leave with or without pay to care for your children.

how does partial unemployment is there ? That is what it is ?

Activity partial, partial unemployment, technical unemployment... You emmêlez always brushes ? Keep in mind that these three concepts refer to the same device State. It allows you to support the companies that need to reduce, or even stop their activity for any of the grounds referred to the article R5122-1 of the Labour Code :

The employee has no course of action. His employer, and he alone, is in charge of the request on the dedicated website, " from the departmental Unit of the Direccte of which it is geographically its establishment", says the ministry of Labour on its website. For the month of march, the companies have until 30 April to submit their request . The consultation with the CSE is no longer necessary. It must, however, be consulted a posteriori. His notice transmitted to the authority within two months. " If within 48 hours you do not have an answer, your request for a partial unemployment is accepted ", had been recalled by Muriel Pénicaud at the beginning of the crisis . Asked about the reimbursement process for businesses, she said that they were " 7-10 days ".

When a company uses part-time unemployment, the employment contract of the employee is suspended. Therefore, they do not receive more normal pay, but a payment, which is paid by the employer. The latter perceives only the allocation of the State in a second time. This allowance is limited to :

1 000 hours per employee per year regardless of the professional branch, or 100 hours per employee per year if the activity in part is due to modernization of the buildings and facilities of the company

A business may be denied his request technical unemployment. The Direccte verifies: " if the business is closed, if the activity has dropped sharply or if health conditions have not been met to make it work for employees , " said Gérald Darmanin in an interview in Paris.

"There is not a condition of service, or terms and conditions related to the type of employment contract (fixed-term contracts, apprentices, CDI, etc), nor of conditions related to the working time of the employee (part-time, full-time) to be eligible for the activity part," had confirmed the ministry of Labour. The government have broadly reviewed the device in this period of crisis, so that some categories of employees are usually excluded, can benefit. You summarizes the categories that have been included :

employees in the annual plan, as the plan day : they may now be eligible, including " in case of reduction of working hours and in case of total closure of the establishment ", one can read in the dedicated document of the ministry of Labour.

part-time Unemployment, and retirement : what is it that is going to evolve ?

This is a new one, which should relieve many of the employees in partial unemployment, and in particular those which combine the contracts of employment of short duration. The minister of Labour announced to the senators last Wednesday that it would present to the Council of ministers " a legislative provision that will allow for the acquisition of the rights to the basic pension during periods of activity partial ". Until now, the activity partial not allowed to open pension rights (read below). "Up here it had little importance since the activity partial was little used, for short periods of time, and therefore it is not penalized by the concerned parties," said Muriel Pénicaud before the senate. "We are in a situation to be quite exceptional (...)".

The part-time unemployment, could it have adverse effects ? It is that fear that have made a number of trade unions, in particular as regards pension rights. As a reminder, the unemployment allowance is not subject to social contributions, and does not, therefore, rights, in contrast to a period of unemployment classic. Until now, the subject was not a cause for concern, at least for employees with a contract of duration ind&comyou;complete. "As much as reassure : for most employees, the consequences on the retirement of a few weeks of partial unemployment will be non-existent or weak ", " explained and Dominique Prévert cabinet Optimaretraite in the World.

The equation may, however, be complicated if the unemployment is prolonged, and especially for employees with short-term contracts.

In this context, many trade unions fear that many employees lose the quarters. "If it lasts six months, we are going to have a problem", because "it's going to play on the downgrade end of a career," was said Dominique Corona, of the Unsa, to the AFP. Several trade unions were of the view that it is therefore more than necessary that this period be taken into account, and can provide the quarters. "It is not yet in the danger zone, but it will be necessary to reconsider the issue," underlined Frédéric Sap, of the CFDT, to the AFP. "The effect quarters could become important," especially for "those who make small volumes and schedules, as the aid in the home".

How about high income ? They are, a priori, to the shelter. Indeed, from the 1st of may, the part-time unemployment benefits beyond 3.840 euros net per month will be subject to contributions, which will automatically create of pension rights. On the side of the supplementary pension, if an employee of the private sector is set to short-time working more than 60 hours per year, the Agirc-Arrco can be assigned points, which "is more to the highest income", is the note of the Alpha Group.

To respond to the concern expressed by the social partners, the minister of Labour announced that a law would be presented this Thursday in the Council of ministers, in order that the employees concerned to acquire "rights to the basic pension" of social Security.

Any device for employees in the home and childminders ?

Since the 30th of march, a device equivalent to the part-time unemployment has been implemented. In detail, it allows that "80% of the salary" to be paid . You are used at home and you wonder about the terms ? In detail, it is up to your particular employer to make an advance payment for . He must declare the hours that you have performed as well as those that were planned but not achieved, with the corresponding remuneration. He must then pay 80% of the net amount of the hours not worked. The State should refund the sum in 15 days .

For those who use the paper form, a form must be sent by mail. "Even if there is no written employment contract, the employer and the employee agree and plan in the beginning of the month the timing of interventions and the number of hours to complete. It is on this basis that the employer can determine the number of hours not realized," says the Urssaf on its dedicated web site.

You are off work due to sickness for child care ? Attention, you can not take advantage of compensation outstanding part-time unemployment . "The employer must still report the hours worked prior to the shutdown and pay the corresponding compensation", we read. For individuals who go through "platforms of jobbing", that offer odd jobs on the Internet, they must "make their statement, as usual on their platform and then complete the complementary form on the platform of the Cesu or Pajemploi for the hours not worked", a-t-is shown.

Guest to the microphone of RTL, the minister of the Action and of the public accounts is income on the employees at home. It has stated that "361 000 employees working in their homes" have benefited from the scheme part-time workers since the beginning of the health crisis.
