Following the substantial changes resulting from the Government’s latest arbitrations, the El Khomri bill is currently being examined by the Council of State and will be presented to the Council of Ministers on March 24.
The main changes made to the initial text include: the removal of the ceiling on compensation for dismissal without real and serious cause; the elimination of the 11-hour rest period for on-call and fixed-day employees; the creation of a Citizen Commitment Account, enabling training hours to be added to the Personal Training Account for voluntary or volunteer activities; and the removal of the ceiling on the CPF (400 hours instead of the current 150 hours) for low-skilled employees.
