Question 22862 — civil servants and public agents

Summary

Ms. Catherine Fabre draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, to the revision of the residence allowance zones and more particularly to the case of Bordeaux. Decree No. 85-1148 of October 24, 1985 relating to the remuneration of civil service personnel provides that the remuneration of a public agent includes in particular a residence allowance, the amount of which varies according to their municipality of assignment. The amount of compensation to which a public official is entitled is calculated by applying to the gross salary a variable rate depending on the territorial zone in which the municipality where he exercises his functions is classified. To date, there has been no revision of the territorial areas covered by this compensation since the civil service update circular of March 12, 2001. Since 2001, Bordeaux has experienced a sharp increase property prices, particularly in recent years, i.e. a 25% increase in property prices in five years according to local observatories. However, the zoning has not been reviewed. Indeed, the Gironde department is today in zone 3 (0% residence allowance) and Bordeaux does not appear in the list of cities targeted by the modification of the 2001 circular. Designed in 1919 as a salary correction taking into account the cost of living more or less high in the different localities of assignment, the spirit of this residence allowance today seems misguided if its application is not accompanied by regular updating of these territorial zones. In order to preserve the usefulness of this compensation for civil servants and target the agents who have it, today, taking into account the attractiveness of the territories, the greatest need, it asks them in to what extent it envisages a review of the areas covered by the residence allowance.
