Xavier Bertrand, Minister of labour and Social Relations, was committed in late June at the end of the consultation on the "Rendez-vous" of 2008 on pensions. He will receive, Monday, unions and employers to "take into account their remarks.
Move the attitudes
If most of the measures were known in principle, their legislative translation is very instructive. Thus is it expected that the business is acting not for the employment of the elderly by January 1, 2010 "will be subject to a penalty corresponding to 1 of the paid wages. Xavier Bertrand assures that the purpose is not to raise revenues but to change mentalities. It is also stated that the companies "does will be not subject to the penalty, where, failing agreement, they have developed, following the opinion of the Committee on business, or, failing this, representatives of the staff, a plan of action on the employment of older workers". In other words, a failure of the negotiations with the unions is not fatal. Moreover, enterprises of less than 300 employees pay nor penalty if they are covered by an agreement of branch.
Contributory minimum
Other measures for the employment of senior citizens are consistent with commitments: liberalisation of the cumulation of a job and a pension, increase the rate of 3 to 5 raise, final deletion of warnings by the employer in 2010 retirement and removal of the limitations of age for certain occupations in the public service.
The Act on the other hand will specify the terms of the guarantee of a minimum of retirement for employees who have sufficiently contributed. Thus, the objective of a pension to 85 of the minimum wage for a full career in the minimum wage will be extended until 2012, but the rules will change from the 2003 Fillon law: warranty will continue to be provided by bearings of the minimum contributory"but this increase"will be targeted at employees with a minimum contribution period"(to be fixed by Decree).
"Low blow".
In addition, contributory minimum (mechanism which increases assessed with low pay periods) will be more attributed to insured persons "whose total retirement is less than 85 of the SMIC. Which will result in a fall in the number of beneficiaries, including the servants or agents of the special regimes which have contributed only a few quarters in private but see their pension plus to this title. In total, this reform of the contributory minimum, advocated by the orientation of the Pension Board, would be balanced financially: the cost of the write-ups will be offset by the decrease in the number of beneficiaries.
Another novelty: it will be possible to redeem quarters for 60 years with a full pension before when they do not correspond to "an effective professional activity". "A low blow", denounced the CFDT, for whom this will including exclude people who began to work very young without contributing to at the outset of the full years.
