Will we have to work one more day next year? The senators are very supportive of it. They adopted on Wednesday November 20 a system aimed at make French people work without pay for 7 hours more per yeara new solidarity contribution expected to bring in 2.5 billion euros if the project goes to completion. And that’s no small feat.
First, this proposal will return to the joint committee after the Senate. It will be discussed again by a college of senators and deputies. We will then see if she is retained again. Then there is a good chance that this budget will end up with a 49.3. The government must also keep the idea in the text and we know that Michel Barnier is very reserved on the principle of 7 overtime hours.
Finally, there is a good chance that such a system will be discussed with the social partners to see how it applies, because the implementation of 7 overtime hours can be done in different ways. A few seconds every day, a disguised burden for employers who will compensate for these hours or one less day of RTT or paid leave.
The interest of this text is political. It allows you to put into the atmosphere the idea that the French must work more to finance their social system, whatever the solution in the end.
