Définition

The Employment Solidarity Contract (CES) was created in 1990 to promote the professional integration of unemployed persons (encountering particular difficulties in gaining access to employment). It is a fixed-term contract (a few months) and usually for 20 hours a week. These non-market sector contracts may be signed by local authorities, public institutions and associations. Employee pay is covered by the State for an amount of 65% to 100% of the minimum wage.

Remarque

The Employment Solidarity Contract was abolished by the law of 18 January 2005 on Programming for Social Cohesion. The said law created new contracts intended for persons encountering particular difficulties in gaining access to employment: the Employment Support Contract and the Future Contract for the non-market sector. Employment Solidarity Contracts that are already underway continue to be subject to the same rules until their term.
