- Has the government reneged on its promise to offer a bonus of 1,500 euros to the nursing staff mobilized against the Covid-19?
- This is what many internet users believed thanks to the tweet of an intern from the Public Assistance-Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP) denouncing the risk premium of fifty euros received on his last salary slip.
- This compensation is authentic but specific to the AP-HP: it does not prevent the nursing staff from receiving the latter, faithful to the initial amount announced, as confirmed by the AP-HP at 20 Minutes .
If the mobilization of all healthcare staff in recent months to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic has been unanimously welcomed by the public as well as by the political class, their efforts - and especially the risks taken on this occasion - would be far from being paid at fair value. And above all well below the premium of 1,500 euros announced by Emmanuel Macron at the end of March.
In any case, this was denounced on May 14 by Côme Bommier, an intern of the AP-HP (Public Assistance-Hospitals of Paris), in a very repeated tweet: The pay sheet [of] the AP -HP has just arrived. Guess how much is said "COVID RISK INDEM"? Come on, give your price for these caregivers that you applaud in the evening at 8 pm… Answer: 19 days (however I was there every day except weekends) x 3.09 euros / day = 58.71 euros ”.

What cause a wave of indignation, but also of confusion around the real amount of the premium announced by the State to reward the work of the nursing staff, supposed to be of a much higher amount.
FAKE OFF
Adopted by decree on Friday, May 15, the latter provides for the payment of a de-socialized and tax-free premium of 500 or 1,500 euros - depending on whether the staff works in a department very affected by Covid-19 or not - at "the all professionals from public health establishments, army hospitals […] and the National Institution for the Disabled regardless of their professional sector and whatever their status. "
Contacted by 20 Minutes , Côme Bommier explains: "The line of the pay sheet that I quote in my tweet is an allowance specific to the AP-HP, and does not correspond to the premium from which the decree came out [Friday 15 May ]. "What the AP-HP confirms for its part:" These are two different things: the bonus of 1,500 euros for hospital professionals will be paid in May. An indemnity for hazardous work of 58.71 euros, which results from a specific decision of the AP-HP, was also paid in April for the month of March. "
"The indemnity and the premium are not mutually exclusive"
"Pending the ministerial system, it was decided to generalize the payment of the compensation for hazardous work to all staff [caregivers, administrative, technical, logistics] including medical staff, incumbents, contract workers, but indemnity and premium are not mutually exclusive, ”concludes AP-HP.
For Côme Bommier, if it is important to distinguish between the two, the substance of his message remains the same: "Why did you put this on Twitter? It is simply to show the little consideration we have for caregivers, coming from the administrative authorities of our hospitals. It is all the more the form that the bottom which disturbs: a risk premium of 3 euros / day, more by nibbling on the number of days of presence, it is lamentable. "
Our Fake Off section
And to continue: “The caregivers come every day to the hospital because they practice a profession that makes sense. We bring this meaning to the rest of society, fighting death and hoping for progress every day in our care. To assert this sense, we rely on human values which should be shared by all citizens: the service of all and the attention given to the most vulnerable. Paying caregivers with a slingshot means showing very little regard for the human values they promote. And in the end, it is to expose oneself to a human revolt, so that these values live! "
