Question 5782 — overseas

Summary

Ms. Mereana Reid Arbelot draws the attention of the Minister of Public Action, Civil Service and Simplification to the recent modification of the remuneration of ordinary sick leave for municipal and contractual agents of the municipalities of French Polynesia. Through article 189 of law no. 2025-127 of February 14, 2025 on finances for 2025 and decree no. 2025-198 of February 27, 2025, the Government modified the conditions of maintenance of remuneration in the event of ordinary sick leave. From now on, instead of the full salary which was in force, the replacement rate is reduced to 90% during the first three months of cessation. The stated objective of this reform is to limit short-term sick leave by establishing a financial incentive for the rapid return to work. However, this measure raises many concerns among agents concerned. Indeed, it risks having a hard impact on civil servants and contract agents who are truly ill, pushing them to go to work to avoid a reduction in their remuneration, at the risk of worsening their state of health or infecting their colleagues. In addition, this reform comes in a context where the cost of living continues to increase, which will further accentuate the financial difficulties of agents affected by a disease. Finally, this modification also raises a question of principle, affecting the right to health and the fair remuneration of public officials. Consequently, she would like to know if the Government is considering a review of this reform in order to better reconcile the fight against abuse and the protection of truly ill agents.
