Harden the management of work stoppagesTo try to reduce the social security deficit. Among the tracks envisaged, there is the increase in the number of days of deficiency for private employees. Concretely, if you fall sick today, you are compensated by health insurance at the end of the fourth day. With the reform, it could only be from the seventh, three unpaid days.

In Yvelines, a company forms for security on construction sites. Today, the employer takes care of three days of deficiency. The idea that the three additional days are not compensated is with a bad eye by its employees. “”It becomes more and more difficult, especially with the cost of living today. So if, in addition, we unfortunately fall ill we still lose purchasing power … it will not do it“, estimates Franck Vincent, safe trainer at work.

Three days of non -paid stop, this would represent nearly 300 euros for Audrey Thetier, a first aid trainer, who finds the measure unfair. “”I hope they (…) will not do things like that because health is what stands up and that’s what allows us to work every day, and to live. If we ever put it aside, what else do we have?“She was indignant.

The boss, Patrick Diamant-Berger, fears that it is the company itself which should compensate for its additional deficiency days. “”Today, asking companies to compensate those who cannot work, that does not seem to me to be the right solution at all. I believe at that time, we are asking companies to do someone else’s work squarely: security“, He argues.

In 2024, the Court of Auditors already proposed a similar measure which would save more than 900 million euros at the Caisses de la Security Social. A dangerous track for the CGT, which judges that this would especially penalize certain employees. “”The most affected people may be the most precarious people, those who are not covered by company agreements, either working in temporary workers, or employees of small businesses who are not covered by agreements that are more often found in large “, Advance Denis Gravouil, confederate secretary of the CGT.

Today, two thirds of private employees are protected against the loss of income related to the deficiency thanks to the compensation of their business.
