► Entry into force of the pension reform
The pension reform, which had given rise to numerous demonstrations at the beginning of 2023, comes into force on September 1. The legal retirement age, raised from 62 to 64, will be introduced gradually at the rate of three additional months per generation. The first generation concerned will be the one born after September 1, 196 and who therefore turns 62 this year. The legal retirement age at full rate remains fixed at 67 years.
With regard to long career schemes, two new age thresholds (18 and 21) have been added to those of 16 and 20, already in force before the reform. People who worked before these thresholds will be able to retire earlier, provided they have validated the minimum number of quarters (172 for generations born after 1965).
Small retirement pensions will be revalued: for a full-time minimum wage career, they are revalued to 85% of the net minimum wage.
Most special schemes will be abolished, in particular those of the RATP, the electricity and gas industries and the Banque de France, for all new hires from September.
► Salary increase for teachers
While the education sector is struggling to recruit, teachers will benefit from a 10% salary increase from September 1 (i.e. minimum €100 net per month). The government wants to increase the remuneration of tenured professors at the start of their careers above €2,000 per month.
The attractiveness bonus will also be increased for the first 15 years of career and the two student follow-up bonuses (Isoe and Isae) will be increased to the amount of €2,550 gross per year from September (compared to €1,200 € and €1,214 before).
Second part of this revaluation, the “pact” offers teachers to carry out new remunerated missions to increase their salary, a device which is not unanimous with the unions.
► Increase in scholarships based on social criteria
Announced by the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Sylvie Retailleau, to deal with student precariousness, scholarships based on social criteria will increase by €37 per month.
The eligibility scale is revised upwards by 6%. According to the government, this will enable nearly 140,000 scholarship holders to access the next level and 35,000 students from the middle classes to become scholarship holders.
► Modification of a rule during a contractual termination
The contractual termination will be more costly for employers. During a conventional termination, the social package for employers was set at 20% when the employee was below the legal retirement age, within the limit of twice the annual social security ceiling.
From now on, the social package paid by the employer will be 30%, without making distinctions between employees who had the legal retirement age or more and other employees.
► Paris bans self-service electric scooters
The first European capital to ban these two-wheelers, Paris will empty its streets of the 15,000 self-service scooters in September. This decision comes following a vote organized by the City on the maintenance of the service.
The “no” had won by almost 90%, even if only 7.46% of those registered on the electoral lists had gone to the polls.
