Voluntary severance pay in the hospital public service (VSP)
Verified 24 November 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Are you a civil servant or a contract worker in the hospital civil service and you resign as a result of the reorganization of your service or institution? You can receive a voluntary severance payment under certain conditions. We present this device to you.
You may receive a voluntary severance pay when you choose to resign because of the reorganization of your service or establishment resulting in the termination of your employment.
The staff member whose employment is terminated shall be provided with various means of re-employment.
But he may also choose to resign. He can then receive a voluntary severance package.
Voluntary severance pay can be granted if you are in one of the following situations:
- You are a civil servant, trainee or holder
- Or you are contracted in CSD: titleContent or DTA: titleContent and your recruitment is justified by the nature of your duties or the needs of the service. This is the case if your contract is for 1er Article 9 of Law No. 86-33 or Article L332-15 of the General Civil Service Code.
You must meet the following conditions:
- Be on duty when reorganizing the service. You are not considered to be on duty if you are on leave of absence, unpaid leave or parental leave
- Justify at least 5 years actual services in one or more posts in one or more hospitals
- Do not complete conditions for receiving a full rate pension within 2 years from the effective date of your resignation or be more than 2 years from the age limit
Reminder
You are active if you are on paid sick leave.
You must send a request for resignation and payment of the voluntary separation allowance to your head of establishment.
Voluntary severance pay is not a right. It is paid to you on condition that your resignation is accepted by your head of establishment. He must reply to you within a month of your request.
The head of the school examines your request for resignation according to the needs of the service and after an interview with you on your motives.
The development of a personal project may be an advantage over other claims, but it does not guarantee the payment of compensation.
Before accepting the resignation, your head teacher must ensure that you meet all the conditions required to receive the voluntary severance pay.
If your resignation and your claim for compensation is refused, you can enter the HEADING: titleContent, whether you are a civil servant or a contractor.
The amount of the voluntary severance pay depends on your seniority and gross index salary held the day before your resignation if you are a civil servant (or your gross salary if you are a contract employee).
Duration of services | Amount of compensation |
|---|---|
Between 5 years and 14 years | 12 months gross index salary or gross salary |
From 15 to 19 | 16 months gross index salary or gross salary |
From 20 to 24 | 20 months gross index salary or gross salary |
25 years and older | 26 months gross index salary or salary |
The gross amount of the compensation may not, however, exceed €45,734.71.
The voluntary severance pay is subject to the following contributions:
- Additional pension (RAFP) if you are an official (or retirement contribution to the general social security scheme if you are a contractual person)
- CSG and CRDS
It is not taxable.
If you are re-recruited as a public servant or contract employee within 5 years of your resignation, you must pay back your voluntary severance pay.
This applies whether you are recruited into the state, territorial or hospital public service.
