The universal time savings account (Cetu), which must be the subject of an agreement this Tuesday, April 23 between several unions and an employers’ organization, “aims to give each employee more freedom in managing their time”.
Here is what the provisions of the agreement provide, which may be taken up in full or modified by the government in the labor bill IIexpected in the fall.
How would the Cetu be powered?
Depending on the project, the employee can save your unused vacation days beyond four weeks per year, that is to say at least one week.
To this may be added additional leave provided for by industry or company agreement.
RTT days, overtime and bonuses can also be used to fund Cetu.
The employer pays to the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations the sum corresponding to the leave, RTT or bonuses stored by the employee.
Over time, this amount of money is reassessed every year based on the basic hourly wage of workers and employees (SHBOE).
With what conditions of use?
– Without seniority condition to help a loved one, parent or child, in a fragile situation or to extend leave linked to the arrival of a child.
– At the end ofone year of senioritythe employee can use his Cetu for an associative or civic commitment or to acquire a qualification as part of a professional retraining project at his own initiative.
– From three years of seniority, the employee can use their Cetu for any personal reason. In addition to taking leave, the employee can use their Cetu to reduce their working time at the end of their career up to half-time.
What would be the minimum delay?
The employee who wants to mobilize his Cetu must notify your employer at least one month in advance for an absence of less than five weeks, three months in advance for an absence between 5 weeks and six months, and six months in advance beyond that.
What regarding current CETs?
The Cetu ne does not call into question existing time savings accounts (CET) in companies and professional branches, which currently concerns between 10% and 20% of employees in the private sector and around half of public officials.
They mainly benefit employees of large companies and the best paid.
Company or branch agreements may provide that their CET replaces the Cetu.
