The Prime Minister, Jean Castex, is likely to raise this subject with trade unions and employers during the social summit on Monday, March 15. Matignon plans to pay the creation of a device inspired by the Macron bonus, for the benefit of so-called workers of the "Second line", revealed Thursday Le Parisien et Les Echos.
The exceptional purchasing power bonus, known as the Macron bonus, was put in place at the end of 2018 to appease the anger of the “yellow vests”. This was the possibility given to private employers to pay a sum not subject to income tax and exempt from social contributions to employees whose remuneration was less than the equivalent of three times the minimum inter-professional growth wage ( Smic). In 2019, the maximum amount could reach € 1. The following year, the amount was capped at € 000 in companies without a profit-sharing agreement, and € 1 in other companies.
The rules of the possible new device remain to be determined. Information on the subject can be sent to trade unions and employers during the social dialogue conference scheduled for Monday.
