There is a consensus to quickly return to the common law rules of partial activity for unprotected sectors
", declared the minister during a telephone press briefing at the end of the meeting.
These rules "
are intended to be able to change from June,
" she added.
For protected sectors (tourism, events, culture, sports and leisure, hotel and catering, transport ... and dependent activities) which currently benefit from 100% support, the evolution of support will depend "
on the timing of the lifting of health restrictions
", she said with "
an intermediate step at 15%
" of rest to charge.
"Making lace"
According to Michel Beaugas (FO), unions, employers and government came together around the table "
on a gradual withdrawal of aid
" so as not to lose the benefit "
of the sums invested so far
". According to him, employers' organizations have called for "
making lace
" to take into account sectors and regions, taking the example of the hotel and catering industry. "
If the recovery can be strong this summer in tourist regions, this will not be the case for luxury hotels in Paris, for example,
" said Mr. Beaugas.
All establishments and companies closed by administrative decision and companies justifying a loss of 60% of their turnover compared to the previous month or the same month in 2019 currently benefit from 100% coverage of the partial activity.
The employee is compensated up to 84% of the net salary.
