The Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, presented the bill on Wednesday which must lead to a modification of the rules for compensation for the unemployed according to the situation of the labor market.

This is the first text that the deputies will examine during their return to the National Assembly in early October. The bill “bringing emergency measures relating to the functioning of the labor market for full employment” was presented on Wednesday September 7, in the Council of Ministers by the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt. He must lead to a new transformation of unemployment insurance, after that of 2019.
The number one objective of the text is to extend until the end of 2023, by a decree in the Council of State, the rules of compensation resulting from the previous reform, which end at 1 SUP> November. Without this emergency measure, more than 2 million job seekers would find themselves without allowances.
But the executive especially wants, three years later, to modify these rules again. Emmanuel Macron has full employment – around 5 % unemployment – the objective of his second five -year term. And the shortages of labor faced by companies convinced the President of the Republic that it was necessary to go further to encourage the unemployed to take the available jobs. In this perspective, the compensation conditions will vary depending on the economic situation. “When things go very well, the rules must be incentive, and when things are going less well, they must be more protective,” said Dussopt, Wednesday, on Franceinfo, to describe this mechanism of “Contractyclicity”.
“At the end, it is the government that decides”
Two questions arise. What criteria will be modulated? By virtue of which economic indicators? Mr. Dussopt announced that unions and employers would be seized from the site “as part of a consultation”. A simple exchange, in short, between the executive and the social partners. “A discussion with proposals and counter-proposals, but in the end, it is the government that decides,” said the minister. This had mentioned another method, on August 30, in front of several journalists, speaking of a “negotiation” between organizations of employers and employees.
m. Dussopt justified this change of foot during a trip to Evry on Wednesday: “The Council of State returned its opinion and considered that the question of contracyclicity was compensation, and therefore of a regulatory aspect which leads To consultation and not negotiation, “he said. There will therefore be no framing letter sent to unions and employers, but a support document for consultation with government proposals. The exchanges will open quickly, “before the start of the examination of the bill in the Parliament”, according to Mr. Dussopt.
