The postponement of the deletion of the CVAE is also added to the list of tax news. Remember that this is a tax applicable to companies generating more than 500,000 euros. This measure will also undoubtedly weigh on the finances of companies.
However, the repercussions do not stop at businesses. Employees must also prepare for changes, as informed CNews. Measures under discussion within the government could directly impact them. They are already raising concerns about their safety and rights.
A rule that penalizes employees
The government is leaving nothing to chance to achieve its economic objectives. In its quest to reduce expenses, the State plans to tighten the conditions of compensation for employee sick leave. This measure is justified by the need to fight against absenteeism in the civil service sector.
This measure provides for reduce compensation paid to workers on sick leave. Previously calculated on the basis of 1.8 SMIC, compensation would now be capped at 1.4 SMIC.
This measure is obviously not without consequences for employees. If until today, the compensation is a maximum of 52.28 euros gross per day, this will change in 2025. With this new rule, the maximum amount of compensation will drop to 41.44 euros gross per day.

Rules that are getting tougher
It’s not just the reduction in sick leave benefits which awaits employees for 2025. The State is also preparing other rules which are already raising eyebrows. Laurent Saint-Martin decided to strike hard according to our colleagues at The Point. The Secretary of State for Public Accounts is indeed considering making the rules of the public sector more similar to those of the private sector.
First measurement on the table: the waiting period for civil servantscurrently one day, would increase to three days. In other words, a sick civil servant must wait a little longer before starting to receive his compensation.
And that’s not all! THE rules for getting reimbursed in the event of sick leave will also change. Currently, public sector employees benefit from 100% reimbursement for the first three months. But with the reform, they will have to be content with a ceiling of 90%.
Impacts on employees
THE new compensation rules hit employees hard, as an example from the August Debouzy firm shows. A worker with a gross quarterly salary of 3,061 euros receives a daily allowance of 50.32 euros.
However, with the reduction of the compensation ceiling to 1.4 SMIC, this compensation would increase to only 41.44 euros. So he will see his daily allowance decrease from 150.96 to 124.32 euros for an absence of six days. A loss that hurts the wallet!
