Bureaux d'études: The CFDT is taking action on employees' purchasing power!

Have you signed the petition for: 

Mutual and Provident Insurance

Consultant broker and administrator Willis Towers Watson – WTW has presented the 2023 and 1st half 2024 accounts. 

  • The balance sheet for 2023 is still in deficit
    • The claims ratio (ratio of claims expenses to gross premiums) is still 110%. This is a general trend in France.  
    • One way of saving money is for spouses who already have a mutual insurance policy to use it as a first resort. Their Amadeus spouse’s health insurance could then be used as a complement, to finally benefit from maximum reimbursement. 
  • A call for tenders is underway to renew the insurer
    • As a result of these recurring deficits, the insurer has decided to increase its rates. Amadeus management, which is obliged to offer group supplementary health cover to its employees, has therefore launched, with the broker WTW, a call for tenders concerning the insurer. 
    • The aim is to minimize premium increases and/or loss of coverage.  
  • The choice of the new insurer will be made by management before October
    • As the contract is underwritten by Amadeus sas – France management, it is they who decide. And the choice must be made before the anniversary date of the current contract.

We are campaigning to ensure that health cover is not downgraded.

Employees’ rights

  • If you’re a part-timer, don’t forget to check that the counter for the number of RTTs to be taken by the end of August 2025 is correct. The calculation is 6.5 RTTs * your % of part-time. Ex: 80% part-time, so you should have 5.2 RTTs (6.5*80%). If this is not the case, don’t hesitate to contact your P&C partner to update it, or contact us. 

Minutes of validated CSE meetings are available on the Neo CSE Minutes page
