Question 10143 — civil servants and public agents

Summary

Mr. Philippe Schreck draws the attention of Mr. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the importance and essential role of clerks in the organization and proper functioning of justice. Indeed, in addition to their mission of authenticating judicial documents, clerks have a general mission of assisting magistrates. The justice orientation and programming law provides for the additional recruitment of 1,500 clerks, even though to respect the usual ratio of 1.2 clerks per magistrate, at least 1,800 would be needed. However, while it is laudable, this objective will in any case come up against the lack of attractiveness of the clerk's profession, particularly at the index level and this situation risks getting worse... It appears in fact that the 2023 index grid project is a source of concern and discontent for these professionals: if the indices are “slightly” increased, this increase is accompanied by a systematic reduction in step with all the harmful consequences that result in terms of career development. By way of illustration, a clerk who is currently at index 392 and at step 5 will see his new index raised to 395, but his step demoted to 3. This unfair system is one of the causes of the social movement which currently affects all registries of France and the crisis of attractiveness risks being aggravated and constituting a lastingly insurmountable obstacle to achieving the recruitment objectives provided for in the 2023-2027 orientation and programming law. After the non-compliance with the objectives of building 15,000 prison places, should we prepare for the same procrastination in terms of recruitment? He therefore asks him how he intends, “urgently”, to correct this systematic reduction of the levels and build, with the unions, a 2023 index scale which is truly up to the challenges of this 21st century justice that the French, the clerks and all those involved in justice expect.
