Is the Whit Monday holiday, worked? Doubt remains in our minds, even twelve years after the establishment of the Day of Solidarity intended to help the elderly and disabled. Gradually Pentecost reasserts itself. September ten French today remain home taking a day off or RTT.
So what Whit Monday, general holiday, working …? For a majority of French, the answer is still unclear, even twelve years after the launch of the Solidarity Day by Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin. The years pass, but doubts persist in our minds, especially as all employees are not housed in the same boat, we easily end up losing it.
In fact, a reminder terms of the law is required, registered elsewhere in the Labour code. In June 2004, after the deadly 2003 heat wave that caused the death of 15 000 people (the majority of them elderly), the Raffarin government established the solidarity contribution for autonomy (CSA) to take better for the elderly and disabled with loss of autonomy. The choice then is on Whit Monday. A very Christian day that celebrates the arrival of the Holy Spirit and who has not much to do with our secular Republic.
In short, if this blessed rest Monday holiday, it is no longer busy as long as the employees are asked to work for free, the benefit of this extra day being dedicated to preventive measures.
But Raffarin did not expect probably not the lifting shields prompted by his decision. The first edition has been followed by numerous strikes, the government backed down already granting companies the right to choose their own time to organize this solidarity day
In 2008, the new device. Pentecost becomes one day busy, but compensation of employees does not change: they lose a day of rest or RTT, or must perform an additional 7 hours. The implementing rules of this day of solidarity are secured by company agreements.
Since its inception, the Day reported to the state 28 billion euros, as recalled these days the national solidarity fund, which manages the fund. Only regret for those who work with seniors. All the money is not intended for them, the State faced with other priorities
Meanwhile, Whit Monday has nothing lost its aura. According Randstadt firm that annually examines the question, 70% of employees will stay home today in a hexagonal economy will therefore idle. Conclusion: Whit Monday becomes again what it was: a classic holiday, and therefore not worked. Except that in order to desert his office or his workshop, he must have been a day off or RTT. Unless your boss, in his great generosity you have offered that day.
