The LR presidential candidate wants to restore purchasing power to the French by encouraging them to work thirty minutes more per day. In return, overtime from the 36th hour would be exempt from contributions, for both…
Twenty years after Nicolas Sarkozy's victorious campaign, the right keeps the same credo: “work more to earn more”. In difficulty in the polls, Bruno Retailleau once again reactivates this lever. “If we want to get by, we have to work a little more,” he said on Tuesday, November 3, on the set of BFMTV.
And the candidate Les Républicains (LR) details his project. If he comes to power, he promises to end the 35-hour week. He wants to encourage workers to work half an hour more per day.
Or to move to a 37.5 hour week. In return, overtime from the 36th hour would be exempt from contributions, for both the employee and the company. Only the CSG and the CRDS – two social security contributions – would remain due.
