In a simplification bill which should soon be presented to the Council of Ministers, the Minister of the Economy has maintained its desire to simplify pay slips, considered by many to be illegible. Here’s what could change.
Reading (and above all understanding) your pay slip, a mission impossible? For many, the exercise proves extremely tedious. It must be said that our pay slips are rather indigestible: social security, family, unemployment insurance, CSG… Nearly twenty lines between your base salary and your net salary before taxes.
A new line also appeared on July 1: that of the net social amount. Supposed to simplify the lives of certain households, in particular those who must declare their income to request certain aid such as the RSA or the activity bonus, it does not make everyone happy. Between the social net, the tax net…. This makes yet another mentiondeplored Estelle Trichet, from Walter France MoneyVox, at the time, judging that the new pay slip has not clarified or simplified anything at all.
A new simplified pay slip in 2027?
Less than a year later, the information on your pay slip is once again in the government’s sights. According to information reported by THE things, a new attempt at simplification pay slips would be studied. The latter is part of the Bercy simplification bill, which should be presented to the Council of Ministers soon. The government’s objective: to radically reduce the number of lines by 2027.
A pious view? One thing is certain, Bruno Le Maire is not the Prime Minister of the Economy who tries the exercise. Always according to The things, no less than five laws or decrees expected since 1998 make up the impact study of the upcoming bill. Despite these successive initiatives, the pay slip is still characterized by too much complexity, recognizes the executive.
The current format seems excessively complex in view of the uses made of it, confirms the government, cited by the chos. It is therefore about create a very simplified monthly pay slip in which only the main aggregates making up remuneration would henceforth be returned without details of the social security contributions made. This information must, however, be available to employees who request it from their employer.
