Is paying your salary in installments really a good idea? "You're more relaxed at the end of the month"

Will French employees soon be able to receive their salaries in installments within the same month? Those most affected are in favor of a change to the current rules, according to a survey conducted by OpinionWay published in Le Parisien .

Antoine was paid multiple times in the same month in the United Kingdom, where it's possible to receive a weekly payment. A system that requires "a completely different way of managing" one's money. "I find it allows you to get to the end of the month perhaps a little more calmly, to have money throughout the month and not find yourself with nothing on the 15th," the restaurant worker explained on RMC .

The president of the Confederation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (CPME) Paris Île-de-France Bernard Cohen-Hadad said, speaking to Les Grandes Gueules , that he was "extremely in favour of this dialogue within the company".

"It's not a bad idea, if it's possible and if it's an expectation of employees," he adds.

According to him, the first thing to check is whether this is possible. "The only difficulty we might encounter is management difficulties because for companies it's additional management. It's software acquisition, it requires controls," warns Bernard Cohen-Hadad, who insists that companies must also make the most of it economically. "It shouldn't cost too much in management fees." However, he believes that it could "help people live better, spend wisely, and meet a demand."

In any case, according to the president of the CPME Paris Île-de-France, this is a good avenue for reflection. Bernard Cohen-Hadad also expects "bankers to offer a little more overdraft authorization, whether to our employees or our small entrepreneurs. This allows for a little more flexibility."

The business leader deplores the current "extremely rigid" system and calls on the government to bring "simplicity" and "simplification" to it.
