The question torments many employees.
Those who have applied to the letter Emmanuel Macron's latest injunction to systematize home work to fight the third wave of the coronavirus.
Will I be asked to come back to the site the next day while the virus is still circulating strongly?
some wonder, not without anxiety.
Others, who run around in circles at home and can't take it anymore, wonder if they will soon be able to resume the old office habits lost a year ago.
What will happen from mid-May, when the rules for teleworking should change?
This Monday, unions and employers have a video meeting with Elisabeth Borne to get in working order with the prospect of Emmanuel Macron's next announcements.
Number of days in face-to-face, canteen ...
On Friday, the Minister of Labor announced that she would consult the social partners with a view to the next planned stage of deconfinement.
“It's an exchange meeting.
It is a question of drawing perspectives and of knowing how to lighten by stages the last health protocol which is very strict ”, specifies those around him.
On the table in particular: the number of face-to-face days, the number of people at the lunch break, the organization of moments of conviviality… No decision should be taken, however.

End of the crisis: partial activity, EMP ... a "transition support" to help companies
As a reminder, current government instructions provide for teleworking five days out of five for activities that can be carried out entirely remotely, with one “valve” day on site per week, authorized if the employee suffers from isolation or difficulties;
partial teleworking, a few days a week, when only certain tasks can be performed remotely.
"At this stage, it is not up to the unions to take the place of the public authorities or the medical profession and to say whether to spend two or three days in face-to-face", warns Yves Veyrier of FO. For the union leader, “we will have to consider a gradual exit depending on the evolution of the pandemic. Protecting the health of employees is the priority ”. "Teleworking and its repercussions on change in the organization of companies will arise in other words when we are out of the crisis", continues the secretary general of FO. A vision shared by Gérard Mardiné of the CFE-CGC, who also insists on the period of transition and highlights the psychological difficulties of "those who can no longer": "We will have to let go a little ballast, lift this one day tolerance,no doubt go to two and find flexibility according to territorial disparities. "
"When the indicators are good, we will give back the hand to the companies and to the employees"
A position shared by Eric Chevée, the vice-president of CPME.
"But everything obviously depends on the threshold of the pandemic", warns Gérard Mardiné, "if we go down to 20,000 or 15,000 contaminations per day, it will be necessary to release.
However, we are already starting to talk about a 4th wave in October!
"" You have to learn to live with the Covid.
In the future, we will not be able to close everything!
»Represses Eric Chevée.
“Nothing changes until mid-May! “Assures, categorically, the Ministry of Labor. “And we have to be very careful, the president recalled the importance of teleworking during the pandemic. We will move the lines gradually. And when the indicators are good, that's when we will give back to companies and employees, not before, ”says a source. At the Association of Human Resources Directors (ANDRH), Audrey Richard, its president, does not see things differently. “Since the crisis, companies have learned to organize themselves. We plan to return to the site very gradually until September, with a hybrid telework / site work organization. We will have to take into account the people who are afraid to come back. One thing is certain, the return to the front Covid will never exist again. "
