This is a new rule which concerns companies with 11 to 49 employees… They have, since January 1, been obliged to offer at least one value sharing system to their employees. But it seems that the measure is not unanimous.
Yolène Biras-Rosier is the patroness of the Biras West Indian funeral directors. For the fifth consecutive year, it pays its employees the value sharing bonus. What convinced him: it was the flexibility of this bonus, hitherto called the Macron bonus.

Gabriel Foy, however, has some reservations. This bonus already puts the pure and simple survival of his business at stake. So with the arrival of the news since the 1is January, the baker-pastry chef is even more worried.

Which is certainly a welcome boost for employees. But it seems that some would still prefer more economic stability.

The new rule stipulates that companies with 11 to 49 employees which have, over three consecutive years, achieved a net profit of at least 1% of their turnover, must now share their results with their employees. The representative body of small and medium-sized businesses is not favorable.

Three possible ways to distribute it: through a participation or profit-sharing plan, through an employee savings plan or through the payment of a value-sharing bonus.
The UGTG is opposed to this new system and believes that bonuses should not replace salary increases.

This experiment is mandatory and will last five years. Even if no sanction is provided for in the event of non-compliance.
