The Public Assistance-Hospitals of Paris (AP-HP) is planning a new work organization from Monday with massive use of overtime, staggered winter holidays and help for childcare staff, in order to cope to the Covid-19 epidemic.

"In the imminent perspective of the triggering of level 2 of the Exceptional health situations plan (white plan) and associated deprogramming", the president of the AP-HP Martin Hirsch presented several measures on Friday which will come into force on Monday.

"50% increase" for overtime

"The use of overtime, within the limit of 48 hours per week, must be facilitated", it is written in the internal note that AFP was able to consult.

It is also specified that these overtime hours “will be subject to a 50% increase” for all AP-HP staff.

"The constraints of continuity of service linked to the epidemic context can lead (...) to postpone the days of leave", then indicates the document.

This concerns in particular the holidays scheduled for the winter vacation period, which begins on Saturday February 13 in the Paris region.

"However, when the requirements of service allow it, the benefit of the days of annual leave and RTT can be maintained", adds the note.

Home care costs will be reimbursed

A national compensation scheme for days not taken has been requested by the AP-HP.

The public establishment also offers aid "to facilitate childcare during the school holiday period" for those who would be forced to give up their holidays.

Home care costs will be reimbursed up to 50 hours over the period, in the event of cancellation of leave.

The use of service employment vouchers has been extended for babysitters up to 11 years old and the leisure center allowance is open to children from 4 to 15 years old.

Finally, teleworking “is extended” and “can be granted to all voluntary professionals whose presence on site is not essential to the continuity of care”.

Both internal and external mobility are also frozen as of February 15.
