The decree organizing the payment of an exceptional bonus to local authority agents was published, this Wednesday, in the Official Journal. A text criticized by the unions who denounce a “conception of the territorial civil service reduced to a subcategory”.
To cope with inflation and the loss of purchasing power, in June, the Minister of the Civil Service Stanislas Guerini announced an exceptional bonus paid to state and hospital civil service agents paid less than 3,250 euros gross per month. Bonus whose amount was between 300 and 800 euros depending on income. But, for territorial civil service agents, the decree published this Wednesday specifies that this bonus will be “optional” and its amount will be left to the discretion of the employer.
These two provisions have not passed for months with the six representative unions of the territorial public service (CGT, CFDT, FO, Unsa, FA-FPT, FSU). The latter unanimously refused, twice, to examine the draft decree (separate from that published on July 31) which was submitted to them for consultation before its publication.
The specter of inflation
“Inflation, which puts the entire population in difficulty, makes no difference between the different aspects of public functions,” underlined the inter-union.
The unions asked to be received “urgently” by Stanislas Guerini and the general director of local authorities Cécile Raquin, to discuss the subject of the bonus but also the functioning of social dialogue in the territorial public service. “The role of figuration in which we are placed is not accepted. The expected and necessary dialogue is reduced to a minimal portion, leading to an increasingly expeditious examination of the texts “submitted for consultation before their publication, the inter-union organization was indignant in its press release.

For the government, this optional nature of the payment of the exceptional bonus responds to the request of territorial employers who are also faced with inflation and salary increases not provided for in their budgets.
