the purchase of RTT days adopted

On the night of Friday July 22 to Saturday July 23, the National Assembly adopted the possibility for employees to have their RTT days not taken redeemed, on the basis of an amendment carried by the Republicans. “The idea is to make it possible to convert, to put these RTTs into stumbling currency and it is truly a measure of purchasing power“, said Véronique LouwagieMember of Parliament (LR) of the Orne. A device that the majority has limited in time, between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2023. The redemption will be exempt from taxes and contributions and all capped at 7,500 euros.

For the opposition, this amendment is a way of circumventing salary increases, but not only. “For the majority En Marche, it is ultimately breaking everything that allows workers who work overtime protection and in particular a right to rest“, considers Arthur Delaporte Deputy (PS/Nupes) of Calvados. Redemption was already possible in some companies, but it was taxed. It will be done on the basis of volunteering employees and on the employer’s acceptance.
