The revaluation of the minimum wage is encouraging news for employees, but not for companies.
For them, this represents an additional cost of salaries and charges to be paid every month.
Europe 1 went to meet a businesswoman in Limoges, in New Aquitaine.
The day of May 1 a The Smic was revalued to the tune of 33 euros net per month, it now amounts to 1,302 euros net.
Good news for employees, but a headache for some bosses.
Cathy Meunier is a business manager in Limoges and employs carers.
Thereupon, Cathy Meunier has no doubt that the work of her 130 home helpers undoubtedly deserves to be upgraded.
She has made her calculations in her private business management and does not see how she can absorb this increase.
"We calculated the revaluation part from May 1 over the year. Over one year, it will cost us 52,000 euros, knowing that last year, we made a net result of 32,000 euros. So I don't know how I will finance it. In our profession, in a price framework, our prices are not free. We do not have the right to increase them as we see fit."
The most total blur
And salary isn't the only skyrocketing expense.
"To this is also added the increase in gasoline as we do home help, we have increased the mileage allowances for carers. So for the moment, we are in the most total vagueness. So I I don't know how I'm going to finance all of this."

According to her, the only solution is that the rates charged to individuals are also revalued, as well as the aid granted to the most fragile.
