Phased retirement opened to employees on a days-based contract and to the self-employed
Article 110 of the 2022 Social Security Financing Act widens phased retirement, which lets people draw part of their pension while continuing to work part-time. It is opened to employees whose working time is reduced compared with a days-based contract, to employees holding several part-time jobs and to self-employed workers who reduce their activity, under conditions set by decree. The pension share is now suspended, rather than cancelled, when the conditions are no longer met.
Measure originators
A positive amount is revenue or savings for public finances; a negative amount is a cost or lost revenue.
Measure impact
From 2022, managers on a days-based contract who reduce the number of days worked, and craftsmen, retailers and other self-employed workers who scale down their activity, can apply for phased retirement. The impact assessment expects about 2,200 employees on days-based contracts to benefit in 2025, at a cost of €11.5m for the general scheme and €8.6m for Agirc-Arrco that year.
