FPT

The compensation scheme shall be determined by deliberation after consulting the Social Committee.

The establishment of a compensation scheme is not mandatory.

The compensation plan can take into account the conditions of your duties, your professional commitment and, if your community so desires, the collective results of the service.

Equivalencies are established, by decree, between territorial employment managers and state civil service bodies.

It is the state's function, subject matter, expertise and professional commitment (Rifseep) compensation scheme that serves as a reference for the establishment of the compensation scheme in local and regional authorities for most job executives.

The collective freely sets the ceilings for each of the 2 parts of the compensation scheme (allowance for duties, subjects and expertise - IFSE - and annual compensation supplement - CIA) and sets the criteria for its award.

However, the sum of the two shares must not exceed the overall ceiling of the premiums that may be granted to public servants.

The decision may provide for the maintenance, on an individual basis, of the amount of the previous premiums, if that amount is more favorable than the amount fixed in accordance with the rules of the Rifseep.

Please note

There is no statutory or regulatory requirement for local authorities to pay a specific period for the payment of compensation to their agents. The monthly payment of IFSE in the State civil service does not necessarily apply to territorial employers, who may choose another payment rate.

FPH

The applicable premiums and allowances are laid down by ministerial decrees and/or orders which lay down the conditions for their award.

These decrees or orders define who may be the beneficiaries (official and/or contract).

  • Belong to a specific body
  • Perform certain functions
  • Be assigned to certain categories of establishments
  • Be subject to certain subjects : night work, Sundays and public holidays.
