Time Savings Account - Reminder of the rules

II - USE OF DAYS SAVED ON CET (RIGHT OF OPTION) :

The agent has until 31 January n+1 to take a position:

1- The CET has 15 days or less

• Days can only be used in the form of vacation days.

2- The CET has more than 15 days

If he is a civil servant, the staff member may choose between :

• Inclusion in the additional retirement scheme for civil servants ;
• Compensation for days ;
• Maintenance of days of leave, subject to the overall 60-day limit (see temporary provisions in paragraph III).

If he is not a civil servant, the staff member may choose between :

• Compensation for days ;
• Maintaining days of leave, subject to the overall 60-day limit (see temporary provisions in paragraph III).

Staff members may combine these different formulas in the proportions they wish before 31 January of each year by completing the option form

If the employee has not made any choice, the days saved beyond the 15 days will be :

• taken into account in the additional civil service pension scheme (RAFP), if he or she is a civil servant
• fully compensated if you are a contract employee or government worker.

Departure of ISAE agent:

When an employee leaves the civil service for good, any days on the CET that have not been paid up are lost. Thus, if the number of days exceeds 15, the days exceeding the first 15 can be compensated at the employee’s request, or taken as leave. The first 15 days may be taken as leave only. Otherwise, they are lost.
Days saved in the CET are retained in the following cases:

. transfer
. secondment to the civil service
. availability
. parental leave
. secondment to the civil service
. direct integration.
A certificate of entitlement is issued on the day of departure.
In the event of the employee’s death, all rights acquired under his or her TEC are transferred to his or her heirs, who are entitled to compensation.

III - TEMPORARY PROVISIONS:

The decrees of May 11, 2020 and February 22, 2024 created temporary provisions for the management of the time-savings account due to COVID19 and the organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Transitional measure for 2020:

The ceiling on the number of days that can be saved had been temporarily set at 70 days as a derogation linked to COVID.

In subsequent years, for agents with accounts of between 61 and 70 days, contributions may be made provided that the balance is less than or equal to the balance held at the start of the campaign.
Agents are not required to return to the 60-day ceiling.

• An employee has 57 days in his CET. He wishes to deposit 6 days in the phase of supply. He will therefore have a total of 63 days on his CET. He must exercise his right of option by requesting compensation and/or inclusion in the RAFP for the 3 days in excess of the 60-day limit. If he does not exercise his right of option, if he is a civil servant, 48 days will be taken into account within the RAFP, or if he is a contract employee or government worker, he will be compensated.

• An employee has 67 days on his CET, as a result of the provisions of the decree of May 11, 2020. He now wishes to deposit 6 days in his CET. He will therefore have a total of 73 days on his CET. He must exercise his right of option by requesting compensation and/or inclusion in the RAFP for these 6 days, and he may ask to retain 67 days on his CET. If he does not exercise his right of option, if he is a civil servant, 58 days will be taken into account within the RAFP, or, if he is a contract employee, he will be compensated.

Transitional measure 2024 due to the organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (JOP):

The condition of having taken 20 days of annual leave (CA), in order to be able to deposit days of annual leave, or leave outside periods, in the CET remains valid.
Transitional measures apply at the end of the option phase:

• In 2024, the number of days saved in the form of leave can increase to 20 days (instead of the usual 10). This means that if your CET has at least 15 days, you will be able to save 20 days of leave on a transitional basis.

• The ceiling on the number of days registered on the CET at the end of the option phase, i.e. after payment or transfer of the days to the RAFP (for civil servants), will be raised to 2024 :

. To 70 days (instead of the usual 60) for agents who had up to 60 days on the CET.

. Employees who had kept between 61 and 70 days on their CET following the 2020 transitional measures linked to COVID will be able to increase their CET by +10 days (i.e. a ceiling ranging from 71 to 80 days).

In subsequent years, employees who have benefited from the transitional JOP scheme are not required to return to the 60 ceiling, and may continue to contribute to their CET. However, after exercising the right of option, the balance must be less than or equal to that held at the start of the campaign.

• An employee has 68 days on his CET following the COVID measures of 2020. At the end of 2024, he wishes to deposit 16 days (under the JOP transitional measures), and will have 84 days on his CET. When he exercises his right of option in January 2025, he can ask to keep a maximum of 78 days on his CET, and 6 days will have to be compensated, or paid into the RAFP (civil servants).
