Question 6792 — civil servants and public agents

Summary

Mr. Jonathan Gery draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the consequences of caregiver leave on the remuneration of public officials and in particular on the payment of the duties, constraints and expertise allowance (IFSE). This leave, provided for by articles L. 634-1 to L. 634-4 of the general civil service code, allows public officials to temporarily suspend their professional activity in order to support a loved one losing their autonomy. Although this system meets a requirement for humanity and solidarity, its financial impact for public officials remains worrying. Indeed, unlike other leaves considered as actual service, caregiver leave does not guarantee the maintenance of IFSE, which can be suspended. However, several other types of leave allow this to be maintained. compensation: maternity, paternity or adoption leave, family solidarity leave or, since September 2024, long-term illness leave and serious illness leave. In a context of aging of the population and a stated desire to encourage elderly, disabled or losing autonomy people to remain at home, it would be desirable for caregiver leave to benefit from the same provisions, particularly in terms of financial recognition. The fact that this leave is not paid constitutes a barrier to its use by public agents and in particular by the poorest, even though family solidarity is today widely encouraged by the public authorities. Maintaining the IFSE for public employees on caregiver leave would represent a measure of social justice and recognition of the commitment of caregivers, while securing their professional situation. He therefore asks whether the Government plans to guarantee the maintenance of IFSE for the entire duration of caregiver leave, like other leaves assimilated to periods of effective service, in order to support public employees in their essential role as family caregivers.
