To better pay for work, Marine Le Pen wants to exempt from employer contributions the increases in wages. The 20 Hours returns, Wednesday April 13, to the proposals of Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen on the question of wages.
At heart duel for the second turn finds the question of salary, an essential subject to convince the French. What do the candidates propose to increase it? Emmanuel Macron’s flagship measure is the tax-free premium. If re-elected, he said he wants to triple his amount. “I want to allow workers to be able to receive a bonus of up to 6,000 euros”did he declare. On this premium, the employee would not pay taxes and contributions. A shortfall for the state of six billion euros, according to a study. However, not all companies have the desire or the means to pay it.
For her part, Marine Le Pen wants to convince companies to increase wages in exchange for a reduction in their contributions. For example, if a company increases by 10% its employees who earn up to three times the minimum wage, there will be no employer contributions to pay on this revaluation. The shortfall amounts to 10 billion euros for social security. The two candidates, on the other hand, refuse an increase in the minimum wage.
