New Decree in France: Fixed-Term Employees Risk Unemployment if Refusing Permanent Contracts

The executive is working hard to achieve its objective of full employment by the end of the five-year term. According to a decree published Thursday, December 28 in the Official Journalan employee on a fixed-term contract or a temporary contract in a private company will be refused unemployment compensation in the event of refusal of two permanent contract offers from their employer within a period of one year.

The decree specifies that it is the employer who must inform France Travail, the organization which will replace Pôle Emploi from Monday January 1, 2024. This decree also gives details on the terms of proposal of the contract for the employer .

The latter must offer the same position, the same workplace as well as the same working time with a minimum salary equivalent to that offered until then. The employer must also provide a “job description” and give its temporary employee a “reasonable period of time” to respond. In the event of refusal or lack of response from the employee, the employer then has one month to inform France Travail.

If the organization considers that the elements are not complete, it may request additional information to then make a decision. In the event of two refusals in less than one year, the employee will be informed “of the consequences of the refusal of a permanent contract on the entitlement to the insurance allowance”, according to the words of the decree. Clearly, he therefore risks having his unemployment compensation withdrawn.

For the CGTthis poses “real questions in terms of collective employment where the most qualified risk occupying the jobs of the least qualified while waiting to find something that corresponds to their level of qualification”.
