Has some of the caregivers been disadvantaged by the Ségur de la Santé upgrading plan?
This is what forty of them affirms, who seized the Council of State by denouncing a “
discrimination
”, reports Capital.
The Segur, which initially provided for a revaluation of up to 183 euros per month for hospital staff and in EHPAD, was then supplemented by a revaluation of the grids and extended to a greater number of caregivers.

In total, more than 500,000 paramedical employees have benefited from an increase in their salary scale. In detail, these are general care nurses, specialist nurses, nursing assistants, medico-technical and rehabilitation professionals and childcare auxiliaries.
But even in the hospital and within the same profession, the upgrades can vary.
In fact, in 2010 and with the signing of the “
Bachelot protocol
”, caregivers had to choose between two statuses.
The first, called "
sedentary
", has the characteristic of a retirement age deferred to 60 years and a salary increase.
The second, known as "
assets
" or "
in the process of extinction
" provides for retaining the retirement at 57 years because of the arduous nature of the profession but requires giving up a revaluation of the grids.
Wage gap
The “
sedentary
” status has gradually established itself as the norm, until it is now imposed on newly recruited employees.
But according to the forty applicants, who fall under the status "
in the process of extinction
", the measures of the Ségur de la Santé have further widened the pay gap (originally agreed) with the category of "
sedentary
" caregivers.

The pay differentials could thus, according to the applicants, reach 478 euros per month between an “
active
” and “
sedentary
” general care nurse.
This difference would even reach 675 euros between physiotherapists of the two categories.
And this, while the Segur agreements signed by the social partners and the government in July 2020 did provide for a “
due proportion
” revaluation for caregivers who have chosen the “
endangered
” status.
The applicants thus request, in their two appeals before the Council of State, an annulment of the four decrees which govern the upgradings of “
active
” caregivers.
