the simplification of pay slips, “readability” and a “guarantee of confidence” according to Bruno Le Maire

Bruno Le Maire presented to the Council of Ministers a simplification law for small and medium-sized businesses. The flagship measure: simplification of the pay slip. “A pay slip is sometimes 55 lines long. We want a slip with around fifteen lines”, explains Bruno Le Maire. The employee will be able to “see what he receives, what he pays in contributions and taxes, and what he earns at the end of the month”. For the Minister of the Economy, the pay slip will thus gain in “readability” and become “a guarantee of confidence and economy for business leaders”.

Asked about the calculation error concerning France’s deficit (5.5% instead of the 4.9% announced), Bruno Le Maire indicates that his ministry “[regardera] how and why we arrived at this error on the recipes.”
