Question 18898 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Danièle Obono questions the Minister for Overseas Affairs about the maintenance of enhanced leave overseas. Great concern is currently being expressed in the overseas territories regarding a possible reform of enhanced leave, which should be implemented by 2020. Enhanced leave is one of the pillars of territorial continuity between the overseas territories and France for overseas civil servants, wherever they are. work, due to a lack of free plane tickets or at prices set by the State. In addition, these enhanced leave mainly benefits category C civil servants, already heavily penalized in their purchasing power by the freezing of the index point and by an index scale always close to the minimum wage for the start of their career. However, the reform would risk subsequently weakening their purchasing power. Indeed, under the pretext of simplifying the system of enhanced leave by granting it every two years, it could include a reduction in their duration, a drastic restriction of the number of beneficiaries and the elimination of excess remuneration. Finally, only so-called “reverse” enhanced leave would be impacted (for metropolitan residents working in the overseas territories), thus weakening categories of citizens who are already heavily penalized. She asks him if he hears, despite the numerous protests from overseas citizens, persevere in these reforms. If necessary, she asks how she intends to compensate for this significant loss of purchasing power for these civil servants. Finally, she asks him what is planned so that civil servants can benefit from enhanced leave without the extra remuneration which compensates for the cost of living overseas.
