Sick leave: recalculation of benefits and negotiations between social partners
Starting 1 November 2026, the daily allowances paid by the Assurance maladie must be recalculated downward for certain employees, particularly in the event of a work accident. The government also aims to save 1 billion euros on short-term work stoppages, while the rise in mental‑health‑related stoppages calls for a rethink of workplace life. On 29 October, unions and employers opened negotiations on sick‑leave compensation, with the government seeking 2 billion euros in savings. The same day, Labor Minister Jean‑Pierre Farandou urged the social partners to thoroughly overhaul the system to protect employees and reduce the cost to the Sécurité sociale.
