9 billion euros per year starting in 2020

The new step towards the harmonization of the pensions of civil servants with those of the private sector will build on three measures, which should bring 4.9 billion euros per year starting in 2020.

Wage rate increased from 7.85 to 10.55 by 2020

The rate of wage assessment of officials (7.85) will be aligned with that of the private sector (10.55) by 2020. The increase will be linear, 0.27 point per year, starting next year. The contribution rate will reach while 8.12, and 8.39 in 2012, 9.47 in 2016 and finally 10.55 in 2020. The basis of assessment, based on the salary treatment, remains unchanged. This alignment will represent for officers, on average and according to the Ministry, a fee of 6 euros per month increase every year (4 euros for staff in category C, 5 euros for the B and 7 euros for A). As denounced by trade unions, this measure will result in cuts power to purchase if wage increases had not offset this contributory effort.

Expected gain: EUR 3 billion per year in 2020.

Suppression of departures anticipated for the mothers of three children

Since 1924, mothers officials of three or more can go retired, at the age of their choice, once they have completed at least 15 years of service. Access to this device (which had been open to fathers recently), which is one of the most important benefits of the public, will be closed quickly: only parents with January 1, 2012 15 years of service and three children will retain the possibility of early departure. In contrast, officers are not yet 15 years of service beginning 2012 will no longer qualified, a pill which will be hard to swallow for those who will have to close an opportunity today very popular (16,000 departures in 2008). In addition, the calculation of the pension paid to the beneficiaries will be adversely. Rules for the calculation of their rights are now frozen as of the date on which they have had 15 years of service and three children (even if they leave after). They will be in the future based on the General rules (according to their year of birth), which means that the beneficiaries will be impacted by the increase in contribution times.

Economies expected: EUR 1 billion per year in 2020.

Minimum guaranteed: conditions of access aligned with private amount unchanged

Officials plan provides a minimum guaranteed pension whose access is easier than its equivalent in the private sector (contributory minimum). Officers benefit as soon as they reach the age of starting, even if they have not their quarterly assessment, while the second condition must be present in the private sector. The Government will align the conditions of access: officers will now have all their quarters, or reach the age of the departure at full rate, to claim at least guaranteed. The condition of respect of the full rate will come into force gradually, according to the generation of the insured, and no retroactive effect: nothing changes for agents who today continued their activity beyond the minimum starting age. The amount of the guaranteed minimum is higher in the public, where it reaches 0.069 euros against 897 euros in private (85 of the net minimum wage). This advantage is maintained for "'s commitment not to lower pensions.

Economies expected: EUR 900 million per year in 2020.
