Projet de loi ratifiant l’ordonnance n° 2020-770 du 24 juin 2020 relative à l'adaptation du taux horaire de l'allocation d'activité partielle

This French bill would give parliamentary approval to Ordinance No. 2020-770 of 24 June 2020, which changed the hourly rate of the partial activity allowance (activité partielle). This is the short-time working scheme that helps employers keep staff on payroll when work is reduced, and it was widely used during the COVID-19 crisis. Ratification confirms the government's emergency measure in law. Employees and employers in France who use or relied on the partial activity scheme are affected, as the hourly allowance rate determines the compensation paid. Based on the title alone, the change concerns how much the allowance is calculated at.
