The establishment of the Social and Economic Committee (CSE) to replace existing institutions<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><u>A single, mandatory body for all companies<\/u><\/p>\n<p>After several successive reforms of the social dialogue, the French-style multi-institutional system of employee representation (D.P., C.H.S.C.T., C.E.) will have completely disappeared by the end of 2019. These three bodies had clearly defined areas of responsibility, but they often tended to address the same subjects. <\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, a single employee delegation (DUP) could be established, but it remained optional and was reserved for companies of a certain size.<\/p>\n<p>The merger of all existing bodies into a single institution known as the Social and Economic Committee (CSE) must be implemented by <strong><sup>January 1 <\/sup>, 2020<\/strong>, in all companies with 11 or more employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><u>The response to the issues raised by business leaders<\/u><\/p>\n<p>This modernization addresses a long-standing request from business leaders. It makes it possible to: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>mitigating the \u201cthreshold effect\u201d for companies with more than 50 employees by eliminating the numerous financial and social obligations that currently act as a barrier to hiring for many companies;<\/li>\n<li>an overall reduction in costs (avoiding the accumulation of multiple positions by the same employee representatives; a reduction in the number of representatives and, consequently, in the number of hours devoted to union duties; a likely reduction in the number of meetings);<\/li>\n<li>the decline in the number of intermediaries capable of facilitating communication between employee representatives and company executives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><u>A single institution, but with responsibilities adjusted according to the size of the company<\/u><\/p>\n<p>The reform, however, takes care not to impose additional burdens on employers of small businesses. Thus, in companies with fewer than 50 employees, the CSE will not have legal personality and will exercise so-called \u201climited\u201d powers, which largely correspond to the powers previously entrusted to employee representatives. <\/p>\n<p>In companies with 50 or more employees, the CSE will have broader powers, as it will assume the responsibilities and duties previously assigned to the former CHSCT and CE. Elected representatives will therefore have the opportunity to develop their skills and become more versatile in order to address a wide range of issues (economy, strategic direction, working conditions, health). <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><u>Let&#8217;s Focus on Social Dialogue to Create a Tailor-Made CSE<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Synonymous with simplification and efficiency, the system leaves ample room for negotiation, allowing the social partners to adapt the institution\u2019s operations to the needs of businesses. High-quality social dialogue and a thoughtful analysis of internal needs will undoubtedly enable companies to establish a tailor-made CSE. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>2.
