Coronavirus: Bercy to relax the conditions for payment of the 1000 euro bonus

The government will allow employers to give this boost in the next three months without being forced to put in p


To reward employees who work in the field, especially in the essential sectors of mass distribution, transport or the food industry, Bercy will change the rules concerning the premium of 1000 euros tax-free. The Ministry of Economy and Finance has indeed decided, with the Ministry of Labor, to "postpone for three months" the obligation for the employer to have a profit-sharing agreement within the company, condition required in 2020 to give this boost to employees. The decision should be announced in the coming hours.

"In recent days, we have had requests from the bosses of SMEs and unions so that, in the current context, the profit-sharing agreement is not compulsory," we decipher in Bercy. In the construction industry, but also in the food industry, many companies did not have time to set one up but would still like to pay the premium. We wanted to show more flexibility. "

A decision in the coming hours

Last Friday, the Minister of Economy Bruno, Le Maire, had in fact invited "all the federations, all the big companies which have a profit-sharing agreement, in particular in vital sectors like the food industry or the large distribution, to pay this bonus of 1000 euros fully tax exempt to their employees. ” Very quickly, this weekend, large groups such as Auchan, Intermarché and Carrefour promised that they would pay the premium by the end of June.

But what about the little bosses who haven't set up a profit-sharing agreement? In recent months, the bosses of TPE-PME had denounced this new obligation, deeming it incompatible with their mode of operation. In 2019, while everyone could pay it to their employees, many of them distributed it to their teams.
