The Secretary of State for the Civil Service, Olivier Dussopt, and the High Commissioner for pensions, Jean-Paul Delevoye, launched on Thursday the "consultation" on the project of universal pension system with the unions of officials and employers public, announced Bercy in a statement.
A simple presentation followed by several consultations
This "first step", a simple presentation, took place at a joint council of the public service. It will be followed by several consultations with trade unions on each side of the public service (state, territorial, hospital) and "within each ministry and each category with specificities": teachers, customs officers, police, prison administration, researchers , military, etc., according to Bercy and the High Commission for Retirement.
It aims at "specifying the modalities of transition to the universal system" and "may in particular deal with the conditions of integration of premiums in the assessment base of civil servants", as well as "modalities for taking into account the hardship and the danger". This "transition period" must be "of at least 15 years", according to the two ministries. The reform project must lead to profound changes for civil servants, including the calculation of the pension on the basis of the entire career and remuneration received, including bonuses, and not the last six months excluding bonuses.
Many holders of "active categories", such as caregivers and hospital service agents, will also lose their entitlement to early retirement before age 62. In compensation, the hardship account that allows some private employees to leave at age 60 will be extended to the public service. This Thursday evening, Emmanuel Macron must go to Rodez and defend the pension reform against 600 readers of the regional daily press. A hot topic on which Emmanuel Macron "plays his quinquennium" according to a minister. The consultation is scheduled until the end of the year.
