2023-02-01T08:47:24.450Z


The Minister of Labor said he was in favor on Wednesday that this device also concerns “companies of a smaller size, with more than 50 employees for example”.


After a record day of mobilization on Tuesday against the pension reform, the government seems ready to let go of certain points of the text.

In particular on the famous “

senior index

”, intended to encourage companies to keep their oldest employees.

It will be mandatory from this year for companies with more than 1,000 employees, a threshold lowered to 300 employees in 2024.

Many deputies want it not only companies with more than 300 employees who are concerned, but companies of a smaller size, with more than 50 employees for example.

You have to look at it, see how we can articulate that

, ”said Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt on France 2 this Wednesday.

But the minister is drawing a red line.

We need "

a measurement tool that is not a monster of administration and paperwork for companies

", he said.

This tool, whose constituent indicators have not yet been defined, must not be “

an ocean of administration and red tape

”, he repeated later.

"

The debate next week in the hemicycle should allow us to move forward

," he added, referring to the discussion on the reform in the National Assembly which is due to start on Monday, February 6.

The executive “open” to proposals

In addition, Olivier Dussopt has not ruled out more restrictive provisions concerning this index, for which recalcitrant employers will be liable to financial penalties.

"

If the company does not play the game, can't we foresee something that obliges it to do so, in a second step?

Maybe it's a track that needs to be explored

, ”he said.

His colleague from Public Accounts Gabriel Attal, invited on France Inter a few minutes later, also considered that the employment of seniors was "

a real debate, which will take place in Parliament

".

"

We are very open to all proposals on the employment of seniors, and why not in a more restrictive way

," he said.
