Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne assured Friday that the Smic would increase "by a little more than 2%" on 1st May. She called on companies to "renegotiate the wage scales" to defend the government.
The monthly net minimum wage will thus be increased from 30 euros to 1,383 euros for a full-time 35-hour week. The lowest paid civil servants will also benefit from an increase in their salaries so that none of them are paid below the minimum wage.
