The agreement reached between social partners regarding unemployment insurance was approved by the government, according to a decree published Friday in Official Journal. This agreement relating to the new rules for compensation for the unemployed, which must apply from January, was signed by the CFDT, FO and the CFTC, as well as by the three employers’ organizations (Medef, CPME, U2P).
Just before the censorship, the Barnier government had decided to approve this agreement as part of the management of current affairs, but the new Prime Minister, François Bayrou, could have decided otherwise. The agreement reached – which is planned for the next four years – includes new measures relating to the conditions for granting rights, employer contributions, and even compensation for cross-border workers.
A large majority of the social partners managed to reach an agreement on November 15, at the end of a lightning negotiation, on these new rules, which notably provide for raising by two years the age limits from which the unemployed seniors benefit from a longer duration of compensation.
The government decree, signed by François Bayrou, specifies in particular that the measure which provided that it would be necessary to have worked at least five months, and not six months, during the last twenty-four months to register for insurance -unemployment will not come into force, because it requires legislation.
