VIDEOS – While some officials are paid less than the minimum wage, these measures help their career start without returning to the wage freeze

The government made a move for early-career officials. The Minister of Public Service marylise lebranchu presented Tuesday to the unions of officials of measures to increase early-career civil service salaries, as part of the overall project to improve treatment of the public service. Objective: give them a more “fair compensation”, while “seven billion savings have already been made by officials since 2010,” said Minister that morning on BFM TV. As the index point which is the basis for calculating the salaries of civil servants has been frozen for five years, it happens that they are paid less than the minimum wage, which in turn, increases. So, the state hardly recruit, including teachers, nurses or engineers who feel too badly paid for their qualification.

• Increase to better recruit

With these measures, officials should touch “between 30 and 40 euros per month,” and more and up to 70 Euro 2020, said Tuesday the Minister. In a note, the government gives for example three specific cases: one early career teacher who currently earns 1,690 euros gross per month, earn 74 euros gross per month in 2017. For over a property agent (1,448 euros gross per month early career in 2015), it will be 31 euros more gross. Finally for (e) assistant (e) social (e), 40 euros gross will add to its current earnings from 1510 euros early career.

• Getting Started in 2017, end of construction in 2020

The first increases will not occur right away, the idea being that will be a “first step for everyone in 2017,” explained the Minister on RMC and BFM-TV, saying it was “obliged to be extremely lucid” in relation to the expense. If negotiation with the unions is successful, the consolidation of the lead grids by 2020.

• index point frost maintained

marylise lebranchu hopes to obtain the endorsement of the unions in September. His previous proposal was unanimously rejected on 11 May, as unions had deemed insufficient. All call for a thaw index point, which is the basis for calculating salaries and has not been revised upwards for five years. But this is not the order of the day. The gel is maintained “day as I speak,” the minister reiterated. “The Prime Minister and the President has been very clear: if growth recovers, it actually puts the index point of the gel of the folder on the table.” He added: “In spring 2016, we will see together [...] if the growth resumed, we actually talk to abandon the gel, even if I do not want to let slip illusion, it will never be a large sum. ” According to the Court of Auditors, an increase of 1% of the value of the point would cost 1.8 billion euros for the three civil service (State, territorial and hospital).

• Officials paid less than the minimum wage

The index point officials, the basis for calculating the total salaries, frozen since 2010 and theoretically until 2017. This led the gel bottom of the grid of categories B and C to switch several times to below the minimum wage, which is, for its part regularly revised upwards. If no revision of pay scales is made, it is estimated that within two years, Category A will experience it as the same fate.
