INFO LE PARISIEN. The Ministry of Labor tells us: it does not plan to touch the valve, which allows teleworkers to


It's a general rallying cry.

The scenario of a removal of the so-called "valve" day granted since January to employees working from home and who crack a little, worries at the highest point in companies.

Are we going again towards a general turn of the screw, a strict application of teleworking as during the first confinement?

As of last weekend, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux the president of Medef lit the warnings: “Reconfining what does that mean compared to what we have today?

We could make telework compulsory.

I am not in favor of it, ”he declared on LCI.

“We can clearly see the limit of the exercise.

It is extremely difficult in many companies to ensure that people respect the four days out of five minimum ”in telework, he added.

At Medef, we are also working to remind people that "it is not in companies that we contaminate ourselves the most".

According to a survey conducted by the Institut Pasteur, out of 45% of people who answer that they know where they have been infected, 15% mention the possibility of an office colleague.

In the union of executives, the music is not very different: "Whether the executive agrees or not, the employees need a

“We are particularly vigilant there.

This is why we do not plan to touch the valve day ", says the Ministry of Labor, taking care to recall that the" rule of teleworking for those whose tasks allow it is five days ".

One of the mantras of the fight against Covid in business hammered out by the Minister of Labor at each turn of the sanitary screw.

Before tackling the “valve day”, other room for maneuver still exists: 35% of workers who could telecommute and still do not do so;

As for the number of days of remote work, from 3.7 days on average last November they fell to 3.4 in March.
