After the deconfinement plan was unveiled by Édouard Philippe and the rest of the government on Thursday, several practical questions remain unanswered. The Parisian mobilizes to respond. We are particularly interested in this question from Bani: “Can I choose not to place my son in a crèche and if so can I benefit from partial unemployment with my employer? "
Nurseries are, like primary schools, affected by a reopening on May 11, even in the red zones, if the town hall can ensure health security. There too, this first phase of adaptation of three weeks is done on a voluntary basis, reminded the government on Thursday. You can therefore, until June 2, decide to keep your son with you. In any case, the capacities required will not allow all parents to leave their children at the crèche.
The latter can only be accommodated in groups of 10 and the staff will be forced to wear a mask. Because of this "reduction in capacity", the Prime Minister asked last week to favor single-parent families as well as working couples who cannot telework. As was already the case, the children of caregivers, teachers, staff in retirement homes and child protection are given priority.
Until June 2 without certificate
Then, concerning the partial unemployment scheme, the Ministry of Labor distinguishes two phases. First, between May 11 and June 2, the recovery is done gradually and therefore "parents who benefited from partial unemployment because they looked after their children, will continue to benefit if they do not put them in school Explains the ministry. Then, from June 2, should follow a second phase - only if the deconfinement is going as the ambition of the government - where schools can offer a stable reception and better visibility to parents.
So, “there is no longer any reason not to put your child in school,” maintains the ministry of Muriel Pénicaud. Parents who do not send their child to school or put them in the crèche, but would like to benefit from partial unemployment, will be asked to provide a certificate from the establishment explaining that the child cannot be taken care of. If necessary, they will have to ask for days off because they will no longer fall under partial unemployment.
