After blocking the authority of public transport, on Monday the Regional Chamber of Accounts (CRC) attacks a community of the Bouches-du-Rhône again. This time the Department Council is being targeted for failing to meet the legal working hours of its 8,000 agents. We hardly learn 11 of them complete their 1,607 hours per yearor 35 hours per week.
The CRC evaluates the loss a 10 million euros for the community.
Too many leaves allowed
The reason is simple: the Department is too generous with its agents. It grants more holidays than those provided for by the various regulations. This will be two to six and a half days more per year. At first glance, this seems meager, but when it comes to the number of employees, the consequences are enormous.
According to this study, the Department’s deficit is 203 full-time equivalent persons. In addition to these leave, some professions combine an additional benefit such as early childhood employees or forestry workers. The latter get eight more days because they are mobilized throughout the summer.
A correct generosity on January 1, 2023
The department of Bouches-du-Rhône refuses to communicate publicly, but nevertheless indicates to France Bleu Provence that a the resolution was approved last month to regularize this situation.
Now he will respect the regulations to the letter, but he maintains an additional leave, such as that of foresters, given this the difficulties must be taken into consideration.
