After its adoption and while its application is scheduled for September 1, the pension reform will lead to a large number of changes. Companies are also affected by upheavals, which will lead to changes in their various processes. While the raising of the legal retirement age, as well as the increase in the duration of insurance, what will be these major consequences on companies?

The postponement of the legal retirement age will lead to a change in the measures allowing the maintenance of seniors in the labor market. Despite the censorship of the Constitutional Council, the creation of a senior index is still in people’s minds with, in this case, the obligation for companies to communicate on the employability rate. The idea of ​​the CDI seniors was also abandoned by the Constitutional Council when it would have allowed companies to benefit from an exemption from family contributions for one year. The place of seniors within companies is therefore likely to be particularly scrutinized in the coming months.

In the list of concrete changes that companies will have to face, the rates of old-age contributions will increase for employers. The employer’s share will now change by 0.1%. Companies will also be widely called upon to limit their exposure to occupational risks through the C2P system. The pension reform thus provides for the creation of a hardship prevention investment fund. Companies will therefore have the task of identifying the most difficult jobs and using this fund to create prevention, awareness-raising and professional retraining actions.
