Care workers in France are being rewarded with a £1,500 tax-free lump sum. Care workers in nursing homes will get a bonus, but it’s not yet clear how much. Healthcare staff fighting Covid-19 will get €1,500 (£1,300). Other hospital staff will get €500 (£440). Since this piece was first published, we’ve written about the claim again here, after the French government confirmed details of the scheme. We’ve seen posts on Facebook claiming that care workers in France are getting a £1,500 tax-free lump sum. The French government has said it wants to give workers in nursing homes and some who provide care in people’s homes a bonus, but it’s not yet clear how much that will be. France is also offering its front line health workers a bonus of up to €1,500 (£1,300). This was announced by the French Prime Minister on 15 April. The French government says this will be for all staff who manage the Covid-19 crisis in the hospitals of the departments most affected, as well as to staff in less affected departments who have received Covid-19 patients. All the other hospital staff who don’t benefit from the maximum rate will receive €500 (£440). Staff working overtime in hospitals will also be paid more than usual. Some other workers will get some kind of bonus too, including state civil servants. Update 23 June 2020 We added a link to our more recent piece on this subject.
