Question 10823 — overseas

Summary

Mrs. Claire Guion-Firmin questions the Minister of Labor on the extension of the duration of the partial activity system provided for by article R. 5122-6 of the labor code applicable to Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin. Hurricane Irma of September 6, 2018 caused a real economic shock, the activities of the two islands were therefore in danger. Therefore, in order to help companies carrying out their activities in these territories, a decree ministerial decision was taken so that they could maintain their employees until the resumption of the following tourist season. Thus, for each compensable hour of non-work, the company pays its employees an hourly allowance and in return obtains a partial activity allowance co-financed by the State and Unedic. This emergency system was the subject of an exceptional extension order published on May 12, 2018 and bearing the quota of annual compensable hours of 1,000 to 1,600 hours per employee. It is therefore an essential social shock absorber to cope with cyclical economic difficulties and stabilize the number of job seekers. However, it appears that many companies and mainly those in the tourism sector will not be able to restart during the next tourist season (from November 2018 to April 2019) and their managers are concerned about their ability to retain their employees. Therefore, she asks her if she plans a further extension of the duration of the partial unemployment system.
