Set up a profit-sharing or profit-sharing scheme, top up an employee savings plan or pay a value-sharing bonus: the bill on value-sharing examined by deputies on Monday provides that companies employing between 11 and 49 employees who are profitable (with a net profit equal to at least 1% of turnover for three years) will have to introduce at least one of these measures from January 1, 2024. This is a transposition of the agreement concluded between the social partners at the end of February.
The value-sharing bonus (PPV) should be acclaimed by the local businesses concerned, according to the latest edition of the barometer of the Xerfi institute for craftsmen and liberal professions of the Union of local businesses (U2P), published this Friday. The survey, carried out among a panel of 7,675 local businesses, shows that 29% of them have used this tax-free purchasing power tool exempt from social security contributions in 2022, and that the proportion is even rising. 38% for employers with 10 or more employees, compared to 27% for up to 5 employees.
Construction holds the palm
However, the success of the system differs depending on the sector. The construction industry holds the palm. Two out of five building craftsmen distributed a PPV in 2022. In public works, they are three out of ten, as in the technical and living environment sector, which is strongly linked to it. It brings together architectural companies, construction economists and economic experts as well as land surveyors and experts. At the other end, the least generous sectors were health and legal professions, where around one in five employers distributed a so-called “Macron” bonus.
In 55% of cases, the absence of distribution of a PPV is justified by “insufficient activity” or “a cash flow that does not allow it”. Refusal in principle is invoked by 11% of employers. 9% believe that they do not have “enough employees” to do so, while 5% have instead distributed salary or other bonuses.
Low appetite for employee savings
The Xerfi survey for U2P also shows companies’ strong preference for the bonus, compared to traditional employee savings: 86% of local businesses that have set up a value-sharing mechanism granted PPV.
Appetite is four times lower for the other devices. They were only 19% to establish an incentive (which increases the amount of the bonus) or participation.
However, three sectors show a more pronounced interest in these two tools: legal professionals (of which more than a third have opted for one or the other), the food and service industries (of which respectively 29% and 27% of employers are concerned).
As for the PPV, the size effect also plays a role, but less: 21% of companies with 10 or more employees have set up profit-sharing or profit-sharing compared to 22% of those with 6 to 9 employees and 17% of those with less than 5 employees.
