From the rise in the price of gas to aid to businesses, here is what changes on September 1:
Increase in gas prices:

Three days of telework possible for civil servants
Public officials will be able to telework for a maximum of three days a week under a framework agreement signed in mid-July by the nine trade unions, public employers and the government.
This agreement has the particularity of being binding on employers, which is not the case with the national inter-professional agreement signed in the private sector.
For state and hospital public services, the agreement provides for lump-sum compensation for teleworking costs up to a maximum of “220 euros per year”.
Local authorities have until December 31 to negotiate locally.
On the other hand, there will no longer be a “minimum number of days” of teleworking required by the State in private companies.
A new protocol will allow "the management of the company, in discussion with employee representatives, to define the rules for teleworking", announced Monday the Minister of Labor, Elisabeth Borne.
Ceiling for restaurant vouchers doubled for another six months
The doubling of the daily cap for meal vouchers when they are used in restaurants is extended until February 28, 2022. It therefore remains at 38 euros, instead of 19, for the next six months.
This measure aims to support the activity of the sector, particularly put to the test by the health crisis linked to the Covid 19 epidemic.

Solidarity fund extended but under conditions
Companies will now have to achieve at least 15% of their pre-crisis turnover to benefit from it, in order to avoid “windfall effects” and encourage companies to reopen.
The solidarity fund was extended until the end of September, before the switch to “tailor-made” aid based on fixed costs.
Social security tax exemptions from which certain companies affected by the health crisis were benefiting have also been terminated.
