The cost of sick leave is definitely in the sights of the government. “It’s a matter of concern,” said Gabriel Attal, the minister in charge of public accounts, before senators last week.

“Last year we had an extremely significant increase in sick leave,” he said. The daily allowances (IJ) paid by Social Security to limit the loss of income during work stoppages increased by nearly 8% between 2021 and 2022, to reach 15 billion euros (excluding the Covid crisis).
