of employers will have to pay 3000 euros to each employee

Thursday, March 31, you may win 3,000 euros. It is indeed today that the ax falls. All employers who employ at least fifty employees and who have failed to give their employee a professional interview over the past six years will have to credit the personal training account (CPF) of these employees with the handsome sum of 3,000 euros. . This penalty also applies if the employee has not, over the past six years, benefited from a non-compulsory training action. It is sufficient that the employer has co-financed a training action to fulfill his obligation. But clearly, employers who are not concerned at all with the continuing education and employability of their employees are now heavily penalized and the employees thus neglected hit the jackpot.

This professional interview, the absence of which can be so expensive, is anything but an interview which relates to the work of the employee. During this interview, which must take place every two years, with a summary every six years, there is no mention of professional development prospects and training that the employee could follow. It is a question of taking stock of the training followed, of evoking the training needs, to acquire or reinforce such or such skill. The question of the employee’s use of his personal training account must also be addressed in this interview. We also talk about the validation of acquired experience. It is a legal obligation that applies to all employers, regardless of the size of the company.

All employees are entitled to it, provided they have at least two years of seniority, whether they are on permanent contracts, of course, but also on fixed-term contracts, on an interim basis, full-time or part-time. It also concerns work-study students, people on apprenticeship or professional training contracts. The interview must therefore take place every two years, but also when returning from maternity leave, parental leave, long illness or after voluntary mobility or a union mandate. The icing on the cake: the interview must take place during working time, it is considered working time, and on company premises.
