Unemployment benefits could they be upset again, a few days after the entry into force of a criticized reform.
In any case, this is what the trade unions are hoping for, which find the government before the Council of State to possibly come back to the new method of calculating the daily reference wage.
In June, the highest administrative court had already ruled against the executive, suspending the reform, which was to come into force on July 1, because of "uncertainties about the economic situation".
But the government did not wait for the judgment on the merits to publish its new decree, identical to the first, on September 30.
"A passage in force" for the lawyer of the CGT, Me Antoine Lyon-Caen.
According to him, the executive should have "asked the Council of State beforehand to review its June ordinance by showing it that the situation had totally changed".
A “bonus-penalty” with little incentive
Other points of the reform are targeted.
For the government, these new rules should encourage job seekers to accept longer contracts, especially since employers will also be encouraged to offer them by setting up a “bonus-malus” on contributions. unemployment in certain sectors that are large consumers of short contracts.
However, this “bonus-malus” will not be applied to contributions until September 2022, “which largely attenuates the supposedly incentive nature” of the observation period for companies, already noted the Council of State in June.
In other words, for a year, job seekers who alternate short contracts and unemployment will be penalized, without acting on the fact that companies offer many short contracts.
