Avoid waves of mass layoffs
The government is betting on partial activity to avoid waves of mass layoffs during the Covid-19 crisis in France. The employee is then compensated up to 70% of the gross salary and 84% of the net salary. This compensation is now fully paid by the State up to a gross remuneration of 4.5 times the minimum wage. The employer always has the option of supplementing the employee's compensation so that the latter does not suffer a drop in income. According to a decree published Friday, the company will be able to use it for a maximum of one year (1,607 non-working hours) instead of six months so far.
