After having experienced a reflux in 2020, the use of this mode of termination of the employment contract “amicable” increased by 6.1 % in 2021.

The year 2021 marks a new record for conventional ruptures. Some 454,000 of them were approved in the private sector in mainland France in 2021, revealed Tuesday, August 2, the Directorate of Research, Studies and Statistics (DARES) of the Ministry of Labor. This represents an increase of 6.1 % compared to 2020, and by more than 2.3 % compared to 2019, before the health crisis due to the COVVI-19. The majority of activity sectors and age groups are affected.
thought as a third way between resignation and dismissal, this system, created in 2008, offers an employee of the private sector to end his CDI, by mutual agreement with his employer. Unlike resignation, the contractual termination opens the right to unemployment benefits, in addition to a starting indemnity at least equal to the legal dismissal allowance. In constant increase since their creation, they had retracted in 2020, in particular due to the use of partial activity and economic uncertainties.
Can this ascent be put in touch with the movement of “great rotation” of employees, who convert or change employer from Covid’s pandemic? If the rise in ruptures is not as spectacular as that of resignations (470,000 French people left their CDI in the first quarter of 2022, 20 % more than at the end of 2019), this is a hypothesis plausible.
workers and employees
“The fact that it is concomitant to a very significant increase in resignations suggests that the increase in conventional ruptures is largely linked to situations where it is the employee who wants to leave, observes Bertrand Martinot, economist specializing in the market From work to the Montaigne Institute, which remains cautious. It is a proven movement but which is not massive, and which comes from the fact that the labor market is particularly dynamic. “
In 2021, the leap is observed in particular among workers (+ 7.6 %) and employees (+ 7.7 %), and in the construction sectors (+ 16 %) or transport and the ‘storage (+ 13.6 %). Conventional ruptures concern in particular employees whose seniority is low – their departure therefore not representing a high allowance for the company. These are either young people on average aged 30, or employees at the end of their careers.
By their growing number, these signatories represent a significant part of the Pôle Emploi entries, but there too, the situation seems to play in their favor. “Ruptures are replaced by resignations because they allow you to reach unemployment insurance and have security, but the figures prove that people do not take refuge in inactivity or unemployment, they change a lot of activity or employer “, specifies Bertrand Martinot.
