This is one of the measures planned by the government on the employment front. Elisabeth Borne confirmed this Saturday, during her trip to Reunion, that the draft law France Work would provide for many "sanctions" for beneficiaries of the RSA who do not comply with the "accompaniment" path to return to employment.
"We must continue to aim for levers to allow everyone to return to a job. This is all the more important in a context where we know that there are many companies looking to recruit and who say they are not succeeding, "said Elisabeth Borne during a press briefing on her third day of travel to the island.

"At the same time, a draft law will be presented in early June to the Council of Ministers. We want to give ourselves all the capacity to make the local missions, the departmental council and the region responsible for training jobseekers work together. We are mobilizing all our forces to best support the beneficiaries of the RSA, "she continued, after visiting the Pôle emploi agency of the municipality of Saint-Leu-les Trois Bassins, where she signed the State-department agreement on experimentation France Work with the president of the department, Cyrille Melchior.
"Preliminary problems" to be addressed
And "indeed, I confirm that in the bill, there will be the possibility of suspending, for a short period perhaps to start" the allowances. "In any case, there will also be a system of sanctions as soon as we have fulfilled, on our side, our share of responsibility, that is to say that we will have put the beneficiary of the RSA in a position to follow the path that has been proposed to him". This possibility of sanction will intervene as soon as "we have solved the other preliminary problems", the "peripheral brakes" to the return to employment, she said, citing in particular the problem of childcare.
Réunion is one of the 18 departments - and the only one overseas - that will experiment with the France Labour project, intended to reorganize employment and integration services. Initially in the list, the department of Seine-Saint-Denis withdrew, explaining that it refused the government's logic of "conditionality of aid".
Previously, on Saturday morning, Elisabeth Borne had gone to the Belvedere of Maïdo, and visited the Observatory of Physics of the Atmosphere of Reunion. She then went to the adapted military service regiment in Saint-Pierre where she exchanged with volunteers. The Prime Minister ends this Saturday evening her first overseas trip, a year after her appointment to Matignon.
