Labor Minister Elisabeth Borne will ask the Labor Inspectorate for pragmatism in its checks on compliance with the three mandatory working days, saying that it could be calculated on average in a company.
I will give an instruction to the Labor Inspectorate to be able to accept in a company that some can do a little more and others a little less, she declared on Franceinfo.
Since Monday and for three weeks, companies where this is possible must allow their employees to work three days a week, or even four.
There are employees who can no longer work, this situation must be taken into account and be pragmatic, she added. The three days are on average in a company.
In the end, the objective is to reduce the presence on site (…) Before the holidays, 60% of employees whose positions are easily workable were at work. Obviously more must be done, she insisted.
Ms. Borne said she asked the Labor Inspectorate to go from 1,000 to 5,000 checks per month even though the vast majority of companies play along.

Faced with criticism from Laurent Berger (CFDT) on the lack of labor inspectors, she replied that she believed a lot in the role of employee representatives for these rules to be put in place.
