Macron Ordinance N°. 2017-1387 of September 22nd, 2017 on the predictability and securing of employment relationship, provides for a capping on compensation for unfair dismissal with a minimum scale (Barème minimum) and a maximum scal (Barème maximum).

In our brief of September 5th, 2017 titled "What Changes for employees with Capping of compensation for unfair dismissal", we analyzed the changes to the ceilings on the severance pay system.

The capping (plafonnement) of the Macron ordinance will inevitably weaken and contributed to the precarious of employees in companies because compensation for unfair dismissal will be priced and it will no longer be dissuasive, especially for employees under 5 years seniority.

  • Now take an employee who has 5 years’ seniority in a company with more than 10 employees, he can now obtain, a maximum compensation of 6 months’ salary in case of unfair dismissal but will also be applied the minimum amount of 3 months' salary provided for in the scale.
  • Take for example an employee who has 2 years’seniority in a company with more than 10 employees and whose dismissal is without cause (unfair dismissal). Whereas previously, this employee would have obtained a minimum compensation of 6 months of gross salary to labour courts, the dismissal compensation planned by the Macron Ordinances is now fixed at 3.5 months of salary, that is almost two times less.
  • Finally, take an employee who has 10 years’ seniority in a company with more than 10 employees, he can obtain in the event of unfair dismissal, a compensation varying between the minimum amount of 3 months and a ceiling of 10 months’ salary.

Having said that of these new rules, the purpose of this article is to present four simple tips to avoid the ceiling of the Macron ordinance and to secure your employment contract.
