Civil Service: Consensual Severance Program Maintained but Severance Payments Reduced
The government has decided to make the consensual severance program permanent for civil servants while reducing the amount of severance payments.
The government has announced it will maintain the consensual severance program for civil servants, according to reports from Le Monde. This mechanism, which allows a public employee to voluntarily leave their post in exchange for severance compensation, will therefore not be eliminated.
However, the executive has modified the amounts of severance that can be paid to affected employees, reducing them compared to the previous rules, according to the same sources.
The administration justifies this change as a desire to "regulate" the program in order to prevent certain "windfalls" that may have occurred in its application, Le Monde reports.
Labor unions, for their part, interpret this reform differently. They see it as a matter of budget savings rather than a simple regulatory measure, according to the newspaper.
The consensual severance program had been introduced in the civil service to offer an alternative to traditional methods of leaving office, drawing inspiration from mechanisms already existing in the private sector.
