Paid leave: towards a new universal time savings account?
Paid leave: towards a new universal time savings account? – (France 2)
The universal time savings account should allow employees to keep their stock of accumulated paid leave when they change companies. Negotiations between the social partners on this subject are expected to last until March.
The current time savings account allows you to store days of rest and recover them later in the form of leave or salary. Tomorrow, with the universal time savings account, employees could keep this stock of days throughout their career. A step forward for employees, but a complex system for employers. For a manager, this would be an obstacle to hiring. “If someone comes in with months and months of accrued leave and as soon as they arrive they say, ‘I want to use my leave,’ that seems huge.”believes Yves Garagnon, director president general of DiliTrust.
Many questions remain to be resolved
This account could follow the employee from company to company. A universal system would force companies to put one in place. Many questions remain to be resolved: who will pay, who will manage these new rights? Negotiations between the social partners are expected to last until March.
