Question 17745 — civil servants and public agents

Summary

Mr. Hubert Brigand draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the conditions for granting end-of-contract compensation to civil service contract agents. In fact, a resident of his constituency, a contractual national education agent since September 2023, notably informed him of his situation. After three consecutive years of practice as a teacher, within the framework of long-term contracts determined renewed each year without interruption, his last contract will end on August 31, 2026 without being renewed. He will thus find himself seeking employment after three years in the national education service, without being able, under the state of the law, to benefit from end-of-contract compensation. Indeed, article L. 554-3 of the general civil service code provides for this compensation when contracts, including renewals, are of a duration less than or equal to one year, subject in particular to a remuneration ceiling. Its amount is set at 10% of the overall gross remuneration received under the contract and its possible renewals. This situation may seem paradoxical: an agent who has been retained for several years in a succession of fixed-term contracts may find himself excluded from benefiting from this compensation precisely because his situation precarious contractual relationship has continued. Without ignoring the specificities of the status of the public service, this difference with the private sector raises questions. In the private sector, the end-of-contract compensation aims in particular to compensate for the precariousness resulting from the end of a fixed-term contract which does not continue with a permanent contract. The situation of a contractual public employee whose administration does not renew the contract after several years of Successive fixed-term contracts can have comparable professional consequences: loss of remuneration, registration with France Travail and uncertainty regarding the continuation of one's professional career. This question is of particular importance in national education, which makes extensive use of contractual agents to ensure the continuity of public service. He therefore asks him if the Government plans to change the rules relating to end-of-contract compensation in order to better take into account situations in which a contractual agent has completed several fixed-term contracts without interruption and finds himself, at the initiative of the administration, deprived of employment at the end of this period. In particular, he wishes to know whether a modification of the one-year threshold, or the creation of a specific system for successions of contracts, could be considered in order to ensure fairer protection of contractual public employees faced with a lasting situation of precariousness.
