According to the draft law on the preservation of purchasing power, to which “Le Monde” had, partly access, 5 million euros devoted to the increase in pensions paid by the regimes of Base and family and minimum social benefits will be revalued.

Government intentions to support the standard of living of households are becoming clearer. One of the main measures intended to amortize rampant inflation will consist in raising the amount of numerous services faster than expected. This provision appears in the draft law on the preservation of purchasing power to which Le Monde has, in part, have access. The increase will be 4 % and will take effect from July 1. According to our information, this is a budgetary effort of around 6.5 billion euros in 2022, and nearly 1.5 billion in the year 2023.
A large part of this expenditure will be devoted to the rise in pensions paid by basic regimes, its cost located around 5 billion euros for 2022. The revaluation will also apply to family services and minimum Social: active solidarity income, specific solidarity allowance granted to the unemployed at the end of rights … Many other aids will also be concerned: activity bonus, disability pensions and annuities linked to a work accident or occupational disease , Remuneration of trainees in vocational training, etc.
The text will also establish a “shield” to limit the maximum increase in rents “for a year,” said Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of the Economy, said on Monday, June 27, On BFM-TV. Personalized housing aid (APL) should be revalued from 1 er July, and not 1 er October as it is habit, 3 , 5 % also.
Improvement of the transport premium
Another protruding measure: the improvement of the tax regime of the transport premium. This system concerns companies that cover all or part of the fuel costs of their employees using a personal vehicle to go to work. Currently, this advantage is exempt from income tax up to 200 euros per year maximum. This ceiling will be increased to 400 euros “in respect of the years 2022 and 2023”, according to the “sheet” which presents the article included in the draft law.
In addition, the conditions to be eligible for the transport premium will be temporarily relaxed in 2022 and 2023. may benefit all employees who use an electric, hybrid or hydrogen vehicle “for their trips between their usual residence and their place work “. Finally, this gratuity can be cumulative, in 2022 and 2023, with the aid provided by the company to cover part of the price of a public transport subscription.
Finally, the executive seeks to put pressure on the professional branches whose wage grid did not take into account the evolution of the minimum wage. One hundred and twenty of them displayed, in mid-June, a collective agreement containing at least a coefficient of remuneration below the minimum wage. These situations of “non-compliance” are, in many cases, linked to the little eagerness manifested by employers’ organizations to adjust to the recent increases in the minimum wage.
The government therefore wants to put a sword in the kidney delayer. With this in mind, the administration will have the ability to carry out the “administrative merger” of the branches which have an obsolete remuneration grid. At present, this possibility already exists for a branch which negotiates very little agreements and on a limited number of themes. But, in the current state of the law, “non-compliance with the minimum wage does not appear to be a sufficient criterion to authorize” the State to perform this act of authority, according to the presentation sheet which accompanies law Project. The rules will therefore be rewritten to allow a merger, if it turns out that the “number of agreements guaranteeing conventional minimums at the minimum wage” is low.
