the shortened pay slip rejected by the Senate, a setback for the federal government | EUROtoday

A pay slip of round fifteen traces and now not 55 to see issues extra clearly: the federal government promise, made by the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire, didn’t persuade the higher home. The authorities suffered a setback within the Senate on Tuesday June 4 on one of many emblematic measures of its financial simplification invoice: the institution of a shortened pay slip for higher readability for workers.

“This simplification of the bulletin is neither requested nor desired by any employer or union organization”identified environmentalist senator Raymonde Poncet-Monge, denouncing “an ideological objective” who go “opaque pay”. The senatorial majority, an alliance of the appropriate and the middle, believes that this reform will improve the work of firms.

Indeed, bosses must, for a time, maintain the detailed knowledge in an annex file out there to workers, which may power them to “double work”even when the federal government assures that this accountability might be entrusted to the nationwide social rights portal by 2027.

Even if most of this improvement is regulatory and can contain session with social companions, the federal government wanted to switch the legislation to evaluation sure strategies of transmitting knowledge to workers.

The Minister for Business Olivia Grégoire tried, with out success, to defend the measure. “French employees have a lot of trouble understanding their pay slips”she pleaded, regretting that the Senate was against “the only measure (in the bill) which provides simplification for employees”.

Technical measures

Examined since Monday at first studying, the invoice to simplify financial life proposes a number of measures, most of them extraordinarily technical, to “make life easier for businesses”.

The government required it to evaluation over the approaching months the 1000’s of time-consuming declaration procedures to which they’re topic, or to delete a part of the 1,800 Cerfa types, which Bercy desires to see disappear by 2030.

” It's a joke. Do you think we're going to give you a blank check to reform? » protested Les Républicains co-rapporteur Catherine Di Folco, believing that Parliament would be “dispossessed of his job”. “The work was not done upstream (…) offer us a text in a year and we will work on it”she added.

The government also failed on Tuesday to have the Senate adopt another key provision of this bill, aimed at unifying public procurement litigation, for the benefit of the administrative judge.
