See job offersSince January 1, 2024, refusing two permanent job offers (CDI) after a fixed-term contract (CDD) or a temporary work assignment within one year can lead to a suspension of unemployment benefits.
However, there are specific conditions. We explain everything in this article.
A tightening of the rules
From now on, refusing a permanent contract (CDI) in 2024 could well cut off your access to unemployment benefits. A decree published on December 28th implements new rules for unemployment compensation in the event of repeated refusal of a permanent contract by employees on fixed-term contracts or temporary work assignments.
Very specific criteria
Of course, there are conditions for the termination of your unemployment benefits to be enacted.
Your rights to unemployment benefits will be suspended if you are on a fixed-term contract and:
- You refuse a permanent contract from your employer twice,
- The refusals occurred within less than one year,
- The proposed job is similar or equivalent to the one you occupy,
- The remuneration is at least equal to that received for an equivalent working time,
- The place of work is the same.
For people on temporary work assignments, the conditions are identical. The only difference is that the permanent job offers must come from the user company where you are on assignment.
The employer or the user company is required to offer the permanent contract before the end of the fixed-term contract or the temporary work assignment. In addition, it is imperative that they grant the employee a reasonable period to consider this proposal. This reflection period is a time during which the employee can evaluate the offer and make an informed decision. The employer must clearly indicate that if no response is given at the end of this period, it will be considered a refusal.
The employer or the user company is required to inform France Travail
In the event of refusal or in the absence of a response upon expiry of the reflection period, the employer or the user company will have one month to inform France Travail electronically.
Once received and evaluated, France Travail will inform the employee of the consequences of refusing permanent contracts on the opening of their unemployment rights.
This decree is part of the unemployment insurance reform, which had already removed unemployment benefits in the event of job abandonment.
The objectives stated by the government are clear: to reduce the unemployment rate and make savings.
