This week, during the Paris Council, Pierre-Yves Bournazel, co-President of the Union Capitale group, made revelations. “For 22 departments in Paris, the city has 42 directors, 35 deputy directors, while 1,639 agents earn more than 61,000 euros, or 200 more than in 2022. For what result?”, he asked.
And added: “Operating expenses increased from 2.2 billion euros to 2.8 billion euros, an annual increase of 60 million euros.” “In 2003, did you know, Ms. Hidalgo, that 309 full-time agents in the city still earned less than 25,000 euros gross per year (…)
The Parisian civil service unfortunately continues to lose in attractiveness, as your own figures demonstrate. The agent absenteeism rate is almost 10%, twice as high as in the private sector. This is an estimated cost of 250 million euros, the equivalent of 5,000 agents,” declared Pierre-Yves Bournazel.
“This rate of absenteeism in the city testifies to a discouragement of field agents, due to a lack of professional recognition and attractive salary enhancement”, he continued, giving “an eloquent example”.
“HR management is affected by a massive phenomenon of absenteeism of 31%. Every day, 135 agents out of 403 are missing.”
