Overview
- The Labor, Health, and Public Accounts ministers presented the plan Thursday, setting out faster reporting of suspected abuses and a broader push to prevent absences.
- A new alert button on the Labor Ministry site will let employers flag a doubtful sick leave directly to Assurance Maladie, with rollout promised before year‑end.
- Assurance Maladie will raise its audits to about 740,000 in 2026 and will focus on very long leaves, teleconsultation prescriptions, and repeated doctor shopping.
- A prevention kit for companies goes live immediately on the ministry site, while the state will expand the SOS IJ tool for doctors and develop second‑opinion routes for very long renewals.
- Employer groups welcome practical steps, unions warn of rising distrust, and no legal changes were announced as talks with social partners will guide further moves like therapeutic part‑time or telework pathways.
