SNCF, RATP, police, nurses… These professions will receive a bonus during the Olympic Games.

He praised the “very consistent system.” Government officials mobilized during the Paris Olympic Games will receive bonuses of up to 1,500 euros, French Minister of Transformation and Civil Service Stanislas Guerini assured in March. The minister clarified that these bonuses will depend on the degree of mobilization during the competition and could be paid, for example, to “consular agents”, “police officers” or “security forces agents”. Railway workers, RATP agents, carers… In fact, many professions are affected, and not just in the public sector.

Up to 2500 euros in RATP

Reception agents at RATP stations and train stations will be able to earn up to €1,777 gross during the Olympic Games, Le Parisien learned on Wednesday. Mobilized metro drivers will receive a bonus of 1,600 to 2,500 euros depending on the number of days worked.

At SNCF, where negotiations are still ongoing, the local branches of SUD-Rail and CGT-Cheminots in Ile-de-France went on strike on May 21 to try to influence the discussions. At the moment, SNCF management is offering railway workers in Ile-de-France a bonus of 50 euros gross per day of service during the Games. Not enough, according to the unions, who are demanding “a fixed bonus of at least 1,000 euros,” as a member of the SUD-Rail union told AFP. The new day of negotiations is set for May 22.

AP-HP Showdown

Unions were also involved in a showdown on this issue at the Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP). The management of the institution promised to reward agents of about 80 departments who “rolled back” part of their vacation. But the amounts (from 800 to 2,500 euros depending on the category) and “restrictive conditions” irritate unions, which consider these bonuses “insufficient” and “discriminatory”. CGT, FO, Unsa and CFTC require, inter alia, “EUR 2,000 each in all services” and compliance with a “minimum of three weeks” of summer holidays. In response to a question from Le Parisien newspaper in early April, Health Minister Frédéric Valletou said the amounts promised to caregivers were “not intended to change.”

The police, another sector heavily mobilized during the Games, will receive a special bonus of up to 1,900 euros, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced at the end of January. We will talk about police officers and gendarmes working in Ile-de-France, but not about municipal police officers. In Paris, city authorities announced that they could receive up to 1,900 euros.
