Some principles for a “good” working time reduction (WTR) • No change in the monthly wage: the WTR is not payroll sharing but hours sharing • Compensatory hirings to avoid any intensification of work: 10% decrease in working time = 10% more jobs and even 11.1% thank to the laws of the arithmetic! • WTR must be the opportunity for a resorption of the involuntary part-time work (especially for women) • WTR must be accompanied by forms of pooling jobs in small businesses
