🇬🇧 English

This French law transposes into statutory form the national collective agreement of 11 July 2023 concerning supplementary provident social protection for employees of local and territorial authorities (communes, departments, regions, and their public bodies). Currently, fewer than half of France's territorial public servants benefit from supplementary coverage for risks such as temporary incapacity to work, permanent disability, and related contingencies. This law aims to remedy that gap by making the collective agreement's provisions legally binding across all territorial employers. The reform establishes a framework obliging territorial authorities to contribute to supplementary provident protection for their agents, covering risks including temporary work incapacity and invalidity. It aligns the territorial public sector with protections already more widely available in the state civil service and the private sector. By anchoring the July 2023 agreement in law, the reform provides a stronger legal guarantee for coverage and ensures more uniform implementation across France's fragmented landscape of local public employers.
