The Association of Hoteliers of Saint Martin sends a message via a press release to employees, staff representatives and union representatives, owners and managers of hotels and guest houses, and to all the driving forces of Saint Martin.
"While we learn that a special device should allow" evacuees "from Saint-Martin in mainland France, access to compensation from the Pôle Emploi in a simple manner and almost without formalities, the prefect delegate informed socio-professionals and hoteliers on Friday morning at the CCI that no measure derogating from ordinary law would apply here.
Contrary to what happened for Luis 22 years ago when measures to safeguard employment had been taken - representatives of ASSEDIC passing through hotels to register employees for total unemployment benefiting at full rate - he Only the recourse to so-called “partial activity” compensation is provided for, which in no way corresponds to the exceptional nature of the situation.
This system provides that the employer advances the capped compensation to the minimum wage of its employees without activity due to the destruction of the work tool and is only reimbursed after a cumbersome administrative procedure with a deduction. 300 euros, per month, per employee and provided you have access to the Internet.
The DIRECCTE does not seem to have a budget commensurate with the thousands of employees concerned in Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthelemy and significant delays in compensation are to be expected.
The so-called “partial activity” compensation ignores the full unemployment compensation rights of our salaried partners, supervisors and managers who should nevertheless receive 57% of the daily reference salary not capped at the minimum wage
It will oblige companies whose treasury is in the low season cycle and will be bloodless in a few weeks to use dry layoffs to avoid the advance of funds and allow better compensation for its employees.
Should we indicate to our executives, supervisors and employees with many years of seniority who are our referents for the pursuit of tourism in Saint Martin that we must flee the island to be compensated correctly?
Should we, for those who remain, have recourse to ruptures for force majeure or economic reasons depending on the gravity of the economic situations to ensure decent compensation during the reconstruction?
Moreover, the duration of the reconstruction is impossible to predict due to the destruction of the economy following damage from Irma, widespread looting and the transition to emergency / requisition system preventing the private sector from considering moment, the beginning of reconstruction before the public buildings.
To all of you, we invite you to come and join us at the next meeting at the CCI with state representatives, which should take place on Tuesday October 3 at 10 a.m. to obtain the specific economic and tourism support measures planned. during the visit of the President of the Republic. "
