Employment: the bonus of 6,000 euros for professionalization contracts in the spotlight
(France 2)
Help for businesses to finance professional training contracts for students and job seekers could soon disappear. A measure which could slow down hiring and the return to work, warn some concerned.
Work-study contracts soon to be more expensive for companies. Michael Brugeas employs around fifteen people, including a production manager on an 18-month professionalization contract. For this hiring, the State paid him aid of 6,000 euros, the maximum. A significant boost for this boss. “The final objective is to keep the employee, it is to be able to employ them. It is true that therefore, for any entrepreneur, to have this bonus, it is an easier decision “he says.
Students and job seekers concerned
Aid which could soon be eliminated by the State, only for professionalization contracts intended for students, but also for job seekers. The removal of this aid could slow down the hiring of job seekers by small and medium-sized businesses, according to Stéphane Heit, a representative of the bosses. “I fear that this will actually extend the time needed to find a job even further, whereas the professionalization contract was a good springboard for a return to employment and welcome in companies”he emphasizes.
