In an interview on the subject in the National Assembly on Tuesday, Secretary of State Adrien Cleat pointed out that paying this premium is the responsibility of county councils, as they, and not health insurance, fund home care services. “This is an integral part of their skills, their responsibilities,” he insisted.
“If I understood correctly, the state makes commitments and promises which departments must be financed, in order to then honor them,” answered the deputy (PS), Guillaume Garot, ironically. Adrien Cleat also implicitly asked county councils to follow the lead of Meurthe-et-Moselle, which has just announced it will pay up to €1,500 in bonuses to 2,000 domestic help workers.

For the general director of the federation, Julien Jourdan, “some departments do not want to do this because they have taken a political position: they want to show the state that they do not have the funds for their skills”. “But we don’t want to be the adjustment variable of a political decision,” he pleaded. Instead of such a mechanism being “neither homogeneous nor universal”, it would be better “for the state to pay the premium directly to employees through a tax credit”, he added.
