Highlights: Minister of the Civil Service Stanislas Guerini sent the administrations at the end of last week the framework letter establishing the system. The project was launched by the Prime Minister himself, during his general policy speech on January 30. Under no circumstances should the experimentation with the four-day week lead to a questioning of the obligatory annual hourly volumes, set at 1,607 hours, the document says. “I'm afraid there will be ambiguity about the meaning of the measure. Let people think we want to reduce working hours,” Guerini says.

The project was launched by the Prime Minister himself, during his general policy speech on January 30.

Gabriel Attal had in fact announced an experiment with a four-day week without reduction in working hours within ministries and decentralized administrations.

Almost two months later, the project is now well and truly underway.

It should in particular be detailed by the Minister of the Civil Service Stanislas Guerini this Wednesday March 27 during the government seminar dedicated to the question of work.

Friday March 22, the minister sent the administrations concerned the framework letter detailing the terms of the system.

Under no circumstances should the experimentation with the four-day week lead to a questioning of the obligatory annual hourly volumes, set at 1,607 hours.

Which does not prevent a leading minister from asking himself a few questions about the reception of this project by the French.

“I'm afraid there will be ambiguity about the meaning of the measure.

Let people think we want to reduce working hours.
