what changes on November 1, 2024

This year, the month of November rhymes with the return of snow tires and the winter break, but also with the fight against smoking and an increase in the minimum wage. France 3 summarizes the changes to keep in mind before starting the month of November.

Each start of the month is accompanied by several changes. The month of November marks the launch of several collective challenges as well as the implementation of important measures to note.

The amount of the SMIC will amount to 1,426.30 € net per month for 35 hours per week. This 2% increase anticipates the annual revaluation of the decree of January 1, 2025. This is part of Prime Minister Michel Barnier's commitment to improve the lives of the French, made during his general policy declaration of January 1.^is October 2024.

The 1^is November marks the start of the 9^e edition of “Month without tobacco”. This initiative offers numerous tools and advice to support smokers in a common challenge: quitting smoking for 30 days. Telephone monitoring as well as a website and the Tabac Infos Service application are made available.

After Pink October, Movember begins. This prostate cancer awareness month is launched by the Movember fundation. The mustache is the strong symbol of this movement: it's time to let it grow to show your support for men's health.

From November 1 to March 31, it will be mandatory to equip your vehicle with 4 or more wheels with winter tires or to have chains or snow socks. 34 French departments are subject to this obligation, including certain municipalities in mountainous areas.

Set from November 1 to March 31, the winter break period suspends rental evictions, particularly in the event of unpaid debts. However, in certain situations, such as squatting, the winter break does not apply.

As a reminder, this period includes electricity and gas cuts which are prohibited.
