In return for improving grids, the idea is to extend careers. Clearly, it will take longer for an agent to reach its highest salary level, the current duration being about 25 years. The first impact of the measures, which must focus on the beginnings and career purposes will not occur until 2017, announced Lebranchu. This will result in a differentiated manner according to the agents, but those early career should touch on that date between “30 and 40 euros gross” and more to “70 euros” for categories A (frames), detailed the Minister.

Thaw wages in 2016?

The Minister hoped that the draft agreement would get the backing of unions end in September after a final appointment you in July. She stressed that these proposals, “the last the government will” should be a majority agreement (50% of the vote professional), warning that failing agreement, there would be “no grids revision “. She declined to assess the budgetary impact of those measures, arguing that “it is an expense over a long time.”

The only certainty, no expenditure is foreseen at this stage for 2016. The Minister however emphasized that the draft agreement provided for “an annual wage appointment that, for 2016, would take place in Spring “, which will consider a general wage increase through an increase of the index point, depending on market conditions.

All the unions are calling for a thaw this point, which is the basis for calculating salaries, unchanged since 2010, resulting in a decrease in the average net salary of staff, taking into account the inflation. But 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).

Unions wary

The unions have welcomed the new government proposals carefully, not yet aware of the overall redesign project grids. “At this stage, for the CGT, it is too early to say what this is because we do not have the elements”, told the union representative Jean-Marc Canon, after the meeting with the minister. But he warned, “to the CGT, there can not be any lasting increase in the purchasing power of civil servants without (increase) the value of the point.”

Christian Grolier (FO), even if “there is an effort” with these measures, to mention a meeting in spring 2016 on the index point, “it’s downright endorse the gel for 2016. We are very unhappy. ” In a statement, the CFDT noted his side “clear government decisions on a tight schedule for implementation of the measures (…) that will benefit all agents.” The union said it would be vigilant to ensure that the government honors its “commitment to wage an appointment in 2016 to deal with the appreciation of the index point that agents waiting for six years.”
