Question 12351 — employment and activity

Summary

Mrs Emmanuelle Ménard draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the consequences of the abolition of the tax credit for competitiveness and employment (CICE) and to the reform relating to the occasional worker/job seeker system (TO/DE). The social security financing law for 2018 abolished the CICE from 2019. Despite the general reduction in employer contributions announced by the State, Farmers and employers of labor will be affected by an increase in their production costs. Agricultural employers will therefore bear, from 2019, an increase in charges: 115.38 euros per month for a seasonal worker on the minimum wage hired to work 35 hours per week and 131.86 euros per month for those who will work 39 hours per week. In a sector of activity where the cost of labor represents between 30 and 70% of the general production cost, this represents a substantial increase in production costs. In parallel with the CICE, farmers use the TO/DE which allows a total reduction in charges of up to 1.25 SMIC. This is partly why labor-employing farmers make little use of the general reduction in employer contributions and prefer the specific system of the system. TO/DE which is applicable to both seasonal workers and permanent employees in employer groups, under certain conditions. In Hérault, the repercussions of these reforms are not without consequences since 72% of agricultural employers use them. Concretely, 14,400 contracts benefit from this system, which represents approximately 38 million euros in loaded salaries, or 12 million exemption per year which are called into question. Faced with farmers' concerns, she asks him what measures he intends to take to compensate for these significant financial losses when, already, the agricultural sector is more than battered in France.
