The government wants to be able to sanction with an administrative fine of up to 1,000 euros per employee companies that do not play the telecommuting game to fight against the Covid-19 epidemic, announced Thursday the Minister of Labor, Elisabeth Borne, on LCI.
An amendment to the bill on the vaccine pass will be tabled by the end of the week, said his entourage.
"We see that most companies play the game very well (...) We have a few companies which do not, which do not follow the recommendations of the labor inspectorate, and which take advantage of the length of the sanction procedure. so as not to respect the rules, ”she explained.
Fines up to a limit of 50,000 euros
“I would like a faster and therefore more dissuasive system by allowing the Labor Inspectorate to be able to pronounce sanctions without waiting for the legal procedure.
We are going to introduce an amendment (…) by providing for the possibility for the labor inspectorate to impose sanctions of up to 1,000 euros per employee whose situation is not in conformity, within the limit of 50,000 euros ”, continued the Minister.
